We make and embroider men's robes in our Orange County, California studio — for guys buying for themselves, for partners shopping for a gift, and for the spas, wellness centers, and boutique hotels that put our robes in their men's locker rooms and suites. After shipping millions of robes and towels, here's how to choose a men's robe that actually gets worn. Personalized men's robes ship in 1 business day.

Which men's robe fabric is right?
| Waffle weave | Plush | |
|---|---|---|
| Feel | Light, breathable, spa-style | Thick, warm, hotel-cozy |
| Material | 60% cotton / 40% polyester | 100% polyester (soft plush) |
| Best for | After the shower, gym, warm climates, year-round | Cold mornings, winter, lounging |
A maker's note: most men tell us they want a robe that isn't bulky or too warm to wear indoors — that's why our waffle is our most popular men's style. Choose plush if he runs cold or wants maximum cozy.
How should a men's robe fit?
A men's robe should close with generous overlap and fall at mid-calf or lower for full coverage. Our men's robes are cut roomier than women's, with longer sleeves. If he's between sizes or tall, size up — a robe should feel relaxed, never tight across the shoulders. (Each product page has the exact measurements.)
Shawl collar vs. hooded
A shawl collar is the classic, hotel-style look — clean and timeless. A hooded robe adds warmth after a shower or pool. Both work for monogramming; we place a men's monogram on the left chest.
Personalizing a men's robe
Add his name or initials in stitched embroidery (not print, so it won't crack or fade). A monogrammed robe is one of the most-kept gifts we make — for grooms, dads, and groomsmen especially. Personalized men's robes ship in 1 business day.
Trusted by hotels, spas & thousands of men
We supply men's robes both direct to customers and wholesale to spas, wellness centers, and boutique hotels — places where a robe has to feel right on every guest, every time. That's the bar we hold every men's robe to.
Caring for a men's robe
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low, skip fabric softener on waffle (it cuts absorbency). The embroidery is washer-safe.
