This bathrobe replaces one given to me about 20 years ago by a friend, for Christmas.  Actually, she gave me one that was not as nice, but she included the receipt from WalMart and I exchanged it for a nicer one made of cotton terry-cloth.  The old robe had gotten thin enough with wear that you could practically read through the back of it but I wasn't able to find a comparable replacement until I searched on Amazon.  When I saw the price, I realized why WalMart no longer carries them.  It was worth it to me, though, to get a robe just as nice as the one I had before.  If it lasts as long, the price per year is more than reasonable.  This bathrobe is thick and soft and warm, and the largest size, which I bought, is large enough to go around my now plumper figure without the belt coming loose and my front being exposed.  I had been struggling with my old robe for that reason, for about the past ten years.  I was amused when I checked the tag inside my old robe.  It was also Turkish cotton.  It is nice that something in the world has retained quality over the past two decades, in the face of Chinese competition.
