Hefty and thirsty, you will dry INSTANTLY upon emerging from the shower or spa and donning this robe.  If you are looking for drapey or velvety, this is not the robe for you.  You will be better served with a robe that is specifically velour and with a per square yard weight of somewhere between 10 ounces and 16 ounces.  This is a 24 ounce Turkish cotton robe, and that is what you get.  If unsure of the significance of the ounce or gram weight per square yard or meter, respectively, it would be a good idea to pay a visit to a brick and mortar fine furnishings establishment and feel the "hand" of the various weights of Turkish and Egyptian cotton terrycloth goods and pick the brain of  knowledgeable purveyor of fine home linens so that you are aware of the weight and hallmarks of quality cotton terrycloth.  This robe is not cheap; make sure you want a heavy duty, thirsty robe.  While I would not say this robe is not "plush," it is thick extremely absorbent and efficient at immediately wicking away moisture.

That said, not to detract from the quality and impressive credentials of this garment.  Seams are completely finished inside the garment, no raw edges; the self-belt is generous (long) and will surely be adequate for everyone.  This robe is looped terrycloth inside and out.  There are no inside ties; if you must have them, they are easily attached if you have a sturdy sewing machine or are deft at mending, using some quality notions.  Upon receipt of this item, I immediately tossed it in the dryer at medium/high heat for approximately 40 minutes to gauge the amount of lint it might shed, if any. There was little lint to speak of; what lint there was was not excessive, so from my experience, the robe will not shed all over you.  By way of comparison lint-wise, my hoity-toity Turkish cotton 11 ounce bath sheet shed enough lint on the first washing and drying to completely fill up the lint screen in the dryer; the robe left virtually none.  As far as snagging or catching, that matter is better addressed by someone who plans to wear the robe beyond the shower or spa for lounging or trudging around the house.  This is a BATH robe in every sense of the word.  Primary reason for purchase was for a thick, absorbent, garment sufficient to get dry and stay warm after emerging from the shower to avoid shivering like a wet rat and fumbling for a dry towel before icicles form.  If allowed or possible, this review will be revised and amended to include measurements of the "small," which is what was purchased ie, length of belt, swing (lower hem measurement), overall length, sleeve length, etc.

Nothing bad to say about customer service because tracking information was up to date and the robe did indeed ship the same day it was ordered and don't have any problems; it arrived within the estimated time frame, they sent a little tchochke gift (miniature calendar booklet).  The packaging was good; it appeared to be a brand new garment, not someone's return.  Beware, however, when you open your box.  Do not use a cutter that will slice down into the box or risk slicing through portions of your garment; it's a BIG robe and it's folded up nice and neat and TIGHT in the box.  Will definitely be purchasing from Bathrobes Online again.
