By the way, lazy dude, most excellent choice in robes, and i think you should find the Dude in charge of marketing and have him design an official dudeist robe based off this one...

Thanks Koog. The main reason I chose that one was because of the price. LOL. I think It's the cheapest one there but yet the awesomest.

The only thing I've been able to ascertain with any degree of certainty is that the robe has a shawl collar and looks, at least to me, like a short and dense-piled velour or fleece. Could possibly be terrycloth, but I'm leaning to fleece.

I'm guessing it was made more for softness and comfort than moisture-absorbtion per se, and though there's no evidence of plush-piling (that almost iridescent look you get with shaggier velvets, velours, etc.), that doesn't preclude the possibility of the robe being made with these materials, but in a shorter-than-average pile.

(Sorry....my dad sold and installed carpet for thirty years. It's almost spooky sometimes how much shit you pick up and retain even years after the information has ceased to be useful to you.)

BINGO! Now THIS is what I'm talkin' about! Not sure why it's advertised as a woman's robe though. Just what makes a brown robe not unisex?

i got an exact replica of the dude's robe off of ebay and i gotta break the bad news, dudes. it's really not that comfy. kind of a rough polyester foam. not bad, but nothing like fleece or micofiber or terry.

Damn my bathrobe is disintegrating and I was going to replace it with what I thought was a Dude-a-like. Sod it I'm going with the terry toweling for comfort and practicability anyway.

Go to Sears website and look at their Covington Waffle Robe. They come in White, navy, light blue and beige. Beige looks as close to Dude's as I've come across. It's pretty damn close. Only $27 with a regular price of $36, and you can order online

Welcome dude. You found bath robe nirvana. A place where bath robes are respected as holy attire (well, kinda). Anyway, pull up a rug and abide!

Dudes,I got a robe near as dammit.What I'm after is the zip up cardy.
Can't find it anywhere.
and jellies are rarer than hens teeth

You dress like that on a weekday sir?

I gotta feed the monkey same as the next drinker.By the way,there's an excellent picture of the little chap on wiki.Just look up organ grinder and scroll down.
As I was saying,lost my strand there for a minute,I work 4 from 6 with paired rolling rest days & 11 in 24 Sundays (compulsory overtime)
So would anyone care to define for me what is meant by 'weekday'?

well dudes, we just dont know except i kindof DO.
the dudely-lama has a replica of the robe and its tag, though worn is no high end name but wither a mervyn's or kohl's type tag, if you loook at my pics you can see i took a pic of our DL showing the tag! go see it, and remind ME of what it says, i cant remember right now what it was called, but it wasnt a fancy shmancy robe, and im actually surprised if the robe bridges wore in the movie was his. i've hear he owned the jellies and the baseball shirt but never that the robe came from his closet. also, also, dude, lets not forget that robes come in all sorts of wonderful fabrics, and colors, i picked up THREE today at the local thrift store( $5.00 for all you can stuff in a hefty bag sale at st mary's!) and i got THREE very dude robes.
