After trying and returning a number of other robes, I found one I love.

Fleece robes don't breathe, and end up making me sweat and swelter, sometimes even when the house is chilly ...not to mention building up a formidable static charge that nearly electrocutes me when I eventually touch metal! Terry robes generally look ratty after a few washings, and certainly nothing about either a fleece robe or most terry robes looks handsome or tailored, as this one does.  While I have not washed this one yet, I hope that it holds up well and comes out looking as nice as it does presently.

The terry cloth lining is soft, comfortable, absorbent, and cool against the skin, and the outer microfiber shell is lightweight, soft, nice-looking, and just the greyish color I was looking for.  The weight is ideal, and I find myself comfortable in it no matter what the temperature in the house.  The sleeves, remarkably, are the perfect length, not getting wet at the sink while I shave or wash my face, and not requiring me to constantly roll them up or pull them back, which grows tiresome.  I am average height (5'9") and believe my arms are of normal length, but I have rarely found robe sleeves of the ideal length, as these are.  The white piping adds a great, tailored appearance to the robe, too.  This is the ideal robe (to me), and I recommend it enthusiastically!

UPDATE: The robe came through the washer/dryer looking good as new!
