The material on this robe is very thick, and the first time I put the robe on nearly crumpled me to the floor. I did not know the robe would be this heavy. I have since gotten used to it, yet would have preferred something just as plush but without the weight. The thickness of the material also makes it hard to roll up the sleeves more than one fold, because with multiple folds your arms are then encased in large diameter rings that interfere with other tasks requiring dexterity. On the plus side, it is a nice muted blue color.
