I finally found a lightweight robe for my husband. This robe is good for lounging around the house, and is very good for hotter climates. It washes well, and, as I do not like to iron, it pleases me from that aspect. The belt fails the "no iron" test, so I learned to straighten the belt and let it hang to air dry, rather than using the dryer. Happy husband, happy me.
It is nicely made, the seams all appear as if they will hold up for years without giving way. It is also acceptable attire if an unexpected visitor arrives. I would recommend this for all men who find their robes too hot.
