The higher the number, the thicker and more absorbent it is.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYou actually don't want the highest number for a bathrobe, which surprises many people. A bathrobe is something you wear. From 600 gsm and up, it becomes so heavy that it hangs on your shoulders, and it takes half a day to dry after washing. 420 gsm is the point where it still absorbs enough water to dry you off, but remains light enough to sit in for an hour. That is exactly the weight that a good spa uses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhy Egyptian cotton?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eCotton grows as a tuft of fibers. With regular cotton, those fibers are short, causing many loose ends to stick out of the thread. This creates lint, and it eventually feels rough. Egyptian cotton has longer fibers, so there are fewer loose ends per thread. The result is a smoother and stronger thread: soft from the first wash, and it holds its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the fit.\u003c\/strong\u003e This bathrobe comes in one size: XXL. That sounds big, and it is — a bathrobe should be roomy, with enough overlap to tie it shut. In practice, it fits from roughly size M to XXL. If you want it tight to your body, choose a bathrobe with specific sizing; if you want to wear it loosely, this is just right.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe weave directly with our weaver in \u003cstrong\u003eEgypt\u003c\/strong\u003e, with no middlemen.

That needs to be removed first, because only then can the cotton truly absorb water. If you skip that first wash, the bathrobe may seem to have poor absorbency — that’s not the quality, it’s that layer.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo not use fabric softener.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fabric softener leaves a thin film on the fiber. It feels soft at first, but it seals the fiber so that water can no longer penetrate it. After a few washes, you’ll be left with something that no longer absorbs anything.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWashing at 40 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e is enough to get everything clean.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eTumble drying is allowed, on a low setting.\u003c\/strong\u003e The heat actually helps the loops stand back up, making it feel fuller than if you hang it on the line.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eThat first separate wash\u003c\/strong\u003e applies to all dyed terry cloth: some color may bleed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Due to the high weight and dense cotton structure, this bath linen may shed some lint during the first 2 to 3 washes. This is normal and will decrease automatically after a few washes.
