Well made lightweight Robe
I am a big guy, 6 feet tall and 220 pounds. Since this Fruit of the Loom robe is "One Size Fits All" (and they usually don't), I was skeptical if it would actually fit me but I am happy to report, it fits me very well even with some room to spare. One thing I don't like about most robes is they are often made out of too heavy of material (terry cloth or flannel) and I find those robes to be too hot to wear after getting out of the shower. Because this robe is made out of a "waffle knit" fabric, the robe is very lightweight and more "breathable" if that makes sense. Another thing I like about this robe is instead of having ONLY belt loops on the sides, with a separate belt/tie which always seems to be uneven or missing, this robe has almost four inches of the 3 inch wide belt sewn on the middle of the back at the waist. This keeps the belt/tie always even and will never go missing. The loops on the sides have two options to slide the belt/tie through, higher or lower which I have never seen before and is a very nice feature. My wife, who is the Laundry Expert at our house, informed me since this robe is 100% polyester, it will wash and dry easily plus it should not wrinkle so it will always look nice.

Uncomfortable
As a 6ft 170lbs male the one size fits all black waffle weave robe stops at the knees. The material is comfortable, medium weight and see-through. Patch across the area of the Trapezius Muscle was uncomfortable feeling like a hump was there perhaps this patch is ideal for an athletic OR heavy build body type. The arm sleeves are a good match for a heavy set arm that needs room to move around in and not feel squeezed. Over all the robe was uncomfortable on a slim build body frame.

    An essential addition to your closet!
    I was happily surprised by this robe. I am not a robe person. I don't think I've owned a robe in 10 years, but I have started using this robe regularly. It is a thin robe, but it still manages to keep me warmer than I would have been without it. I like that I will still be able to use it in the summer since it is not too thick. The material is 100% polyester and it is waffle knit. I love the feel of waffle knit because it is soft. My favorite aspect of this robe is that the belt sash is stitched in on the back. Because of that, I never have to adjust it and make sure both sides are equal length before I tie it. I also don't run the risk of losing the belt sash or having to thread it through the loops a bunch of times. There is a loop on the inside of the robe at the nape of the neck so that it can be easily hung on a hook, and I don't notice the loop while I'm wearing the robe. I'm 5'7” and the robe goes down to mid-calf. The sleeves hit right before my wrists. I highly recommend this robe to anyone!

    Cozy Comfort
    This Fruit of the Loom Mens Soft Touch Waffle Robe is exactly what I was looking for. It replaces my old robe which, although nice, was super thick, bulky and way too hot! This robe suits my needs better and is much more practical for everyday, all season use. It is lighter weight, breathable, and has a more stretchy weave so it is flowy and allows freedom of movement. If you put it on while slightly wet, it quickly dries without feeling clingy or clammy. The waffle texture gives it both a nice look and a nice feel. It is perfect to wear in the summer to keep you cooler and pairs nicely in the winter with joggers and a t-shirt to stay warmer while lounging. Not being made of the heaviest of material, it still provides enough thickness to conceal and offers the right amount of modesty. Walking in from the hot tub or out to get the mail or newspaper should not cause a problem and will not cause the neighbors to blush. The black 100% polyester material with white trim accents gives it a premium, trendy, and fashionable look too. There is a nice loop in the collar that allows the robe to easily hang from a hook while not in use. I also like the three-quarter length sleeves, but I do find the arm holes to be a bit large. Robes should be roomy but these seem exaggerated here. This robe is designed with a high belt so it does tie more above the belly rather than below the midsection and nearer to the waist. The robe is finished with two pockets which can be nice for warming hands or transporting lighter-weight items, however the pockets themselves are not too deep. I love that the belt is stitched in the back so it never becomes separated (and potentially lost) from the robe. Design wise, if the belt had white trim to match like the rest of the robe, it would be almost perfect.

    Washed and dried well
    This robe is a one size fits all. My husband is 220lbs and 5'10” and its pretty much a perfect fit on him with room to grow (lets hope not though). I'm 5'8” tall and 140 lbs and it fits big on me, but gets the job done. The sleeves come midway down our forearms and there are two front pockets. I would say the fit is exactly as it looks on the model, even after washing. The material is thinner, but heavy and not see thru. It is not stiff at all and has a nice drape to it. The feel is soft and slick/smooth and has some stretch to it. After I washed it, it felt and looked more like a soft cotton, but it is 100 percent polyester and says it is made in Cambodia. The belt is sewn into place, so it doesn't slide off and also didn't tangle in the wash. I washed it today and threw it in the dryer afterwards. It had no shrinkage or pilling, but I definitely wouldn't dry it with towels or anything that sheds. The picture shows it fresh out of the dryer.

    Nice robe but not long sleeved
    This robe is medium-warm and soft but the sleeves are intentionally made to be a bit short. They don't come down to the wrists. I gave this robe to my dad as a gift. He likes it, but he's six feet tall and he wishes the robe were longer and the sleeves were longer. It's nice if you just want a robe to throw on after a shower, but if you're looking for a very warm winter robe and you're a tall person, this might be too short.

    Nice textured surface, attractive, easy to clean
    This 100% polyester robe is comfortable, attractive and sturdy. It's the first thing I put on in the morning. The textured polyester surface feels very similar to crêpe paper. It feels good on the skin and doesn't slide off your shoulders. It is also a nice 3/4 length. I am 5'9” and it hangs to just below my knee. Although I only have a 32 waist it has a nice long belt and quite a bit of material so even someone with a much larger waist would be able to wear this robe and be fully covered. It is also very durable I have washed it twice since I received it and it looks as good now as the first day.

    Fruit and Loom Robe
    If you want Something Light If you want Something Soft If you want Something Long If you want Something to Lounge in.. Then this is it.. Plus it has white Borders on the sleeves and Neck. However, It has not been washed yet, so I wouldn't know if my tales are true. You can only determine the quality of a cloth after you wash it.

    Almost too comfortable to take off
    I love this rode. I hung my other one in the back bedroom closet. I wear this one daily because it is so soft and comfortable and I really like the fact that the tie is sewn on in the back, therefore it will not get one-sided or fall off. The length is just right and comfortable around the neck. Very happy!

    comfortable and looking good
    Fruit of the Loom certainly has a hit with this robe . This is a handsome , a really good looking robe that is also very comfortable. It's like your favorite t-shirt somehow stays looking crisp and fresh. The fabric is soft and cool but a tiny woven waffle pattern allows soft draping, maintains shape and good looks. The style is classic. Crisp white piping accents the rich navy color. What's not to love?

    Beyond SOFT
    This men's kimono style waffle robe is BEYOND soft as the title says! It holds Up during washing and drying by holding It's shape and awesome softness. A great Bonus is no loosing the robes sash!! Its Built in!! No more fishing through the washer Or dryer. It's light fabric is great for these Summer nights but yet warm enough for The coolest of seasons as well. The water Wicking fabric just lets you jump right out Of the shower. The large pockets have room Enough essentials like your cellphone and Brush to name a few. I definitely recommend This robe for the man in your life he'll love It. Or if you like it buy one for yourself they're Great and beyond soft! PS The one size fits all Is another great quality of this robe!!

    Nice Lightweight Robe
    This is a nice, lightweight kimono style robe, made by Fruit of the Loom. They call it "waffle" because the material is not smooth, but has a waffle pattern. The material is 100% polyester, but is very soft and satiny. It's a nice robe, for warmer climates. The material is very thin, with the exception of a small reinforced panel at the back. The robe is one size and made for men, but I think it's really unisex. I am a large size lady and it fits me nicely. I will use it after showers, when the weather is warm. It has two side pockets, which are handy and the belt is attached at the back, which I like a lot. It is machine wash warm, tumble dry low, which is easy care. The only thing I really dislike about the robe, is it attracts a lot of lint. As it is a black robe, the lint shows up easily and I find it a big drawback. Otherwise, it's a nice garment.

    A good basic robe
    I like how this looks on my husband, I like the contrasting lines and that it's simple. The robe is soft but not in a plush way. So it's comfortable but not too warm. If your using it for warmth then it's more appropriate for the non winter months. Since it's not plush though, you likely won't over heat in it. It has no irritating seams or tags on it. I like the attached tie belt. I hate looking around for ones that aren't attached. This truly is a one size fits all, it fit him appropriately, and he's a slim to average build. I tried it on for a size comparison and I'm well above the average size (late pregnancy) and it also fits me appropriately with room to spare. There was no loose threads or seams on the robe either.

    Great Light Robe
    Great quality but it is very thin. Perfect for summer. The arms are the perfect length (partway up the forearm when working) for doing dishes/etc., they don't get in your way. Length is just past my knee. I was skeptical of "one size fits most" sizing but I am 5'9", 145 lbs and it fits me just fine. Great light robe.

    Ok robe
    I received this product for free through the Wal-Mart Spark Review program. I got this robe for my hisband since he did not own one. This robe is 100% polyester. It has waffle texture and semi-soft. It is very light weight and see through. I would not where this to keep warm in a very cool area. It would be fine for after a shower though. This is a one size fits all type robe. To give you an idea of how it fits husband and I both tried it on. I normally wear a Med/Lg and I am 5'3". The sleeves are very short and the length goes hust past my knees. My husband wears a XL and is over 6' . The sleeves again are even shorter and the length goes just above his knees. It does fit him around the waist just fine. I tie that goes arpund the waist fit fine as well. It is an ok average robe.

    Soft Mens Robe
    I am reviewing the beyond soft Waffle Robe for men by Fruit of the Loom (a trusted company) as a Wal-Mart Sparks Reviewer. Right off the bat I have to tell you that my husband loves this robe. He especially likes how soft it is and that it has a natural stretch to it which makes it easy to put on and take off. The robe is light weight but yet warm, not too hot to wear. It is a one size fits all and my husband usually wears a 2X and this robe fits him perfectly. It does have adjustable belt loops which is a nice feature as well as two large side pockets. The arm length is 3/4 length which is another great feature he really likes (doesn't get his sleeves wet when he washes his hands). I love the easy care because it is made from 100% polyester and you can just throw it into a warm wash then it can go into the dryer on low heat and it's ready to be worn again. I think you are going to really enjoy wearing this robe because it is so very light weight and soft and most of all comfortable and I highly recommend it.

    Perfect for after bath.
    This robe is one size fits all size. Black color and kimono sleeves, has got 2 large pockets and a belt. The material is very thin but comfortable, it is most definitely not for day to day use especially in the winter, it is more like an after bath robe that absorbs the moisture. I love that it has got 2 large pockets and that the size is quite large, it is roomy and comfy. I doubt that it is truly one size fits all as I feel like if I was a size larger it would be one tight side. Overall I enjoy wearing it after my showers, I feel like it absorbs the acces moisture that the towel doesn't pick up. Overall a good product.

    So soft
    My adult son just needed a robe so he now has the Fruit of the Loom men's waffle robe, by waffle l mean like the look of long Johns but this robe beyond soft. This waffle soft robe is one size ,it's machine washable and the style is a kimono style and has two large pockets on each side of the Fruit of the Loom robe and it also has a adjustable belt loops. And has a 100 % satisfaction guarantee but he'll love the feel of this beyond soft waffle robe. It's made of 1100 % polyester you won't be sorry it's a great price also.
