Cotton Short Robe

I've tried the usual Brooks Brothers, Casual Male XL, etc. He's tall (6'2'') so I want a larger/longer size so it doesn't look so short. Since he also wears a 2X in shirts, I'm assuming I need robes that will come in that size. A one size fits all won't be good; he's tried those on and they are too small. I want this to be a nice gift, like a spa or hotel quality robe, so $100 or so is just fine.

I'd also really like to get it in Navy Blue, not White. Cotton terrycloth (not those velour or waffle knits) is a must.

Thanks for any suggestions as to wear to look!
I found an awesome looking one at JC Penney's; thanks!

How about a barn? Or, maybe the tarp they cover the space shuttle with. Ooh, ooh, ooh....I know,......a tent, yeah, a tent. Have you considered JC Penny's curtain selection. It's huge....like your friend.

Okay so...I live in Connecticut and now its a little chilly outside. But Ive always felt so incredibily cold like all teh time! During school I usually wear skinny jeans, some kinda cotton blouse/shirt type thing but Im still SO COLD. I change into wear shorts and tshirt when I get home from school then chillax on the couch with my comforter but im still freezing! I havta have sheets, the comforter, a sleeping robe and a throw blanket on top of me to feel warrm! It ridiculous. The air conditioning in neva on so ya :/

Reason why im saying this now is that i noticed while at my boyfriend's house that when he stood up and layed on top of me while watching tv he was SO WARM. it felt so nice.
We were both wearing tshirts and shorts so i dont kno why he wasnt as cold as me?

jw. thnx

I am the same way! Always cold! I even carry a jersey around with during the summer. I've been told its due to me being anemic as well as having poor circulation.

here is the link for the first part. if you haven't read that, Reiko has just been stabbed by her friend in the street and is calling her friend.

I bent my knees a bit, slumping.
I was going to die. I was only fourteen. I’d never kissed a guy properly, I’d never driven a car, and I’d never had children. Every single thing I’d ever planned slipped away in my mind. It was over. I didn’t even have a will.
I pulled out my phone, and clasped the other hand to my side. I dialled in Natsumi’s number, and called. The familiar, soothing ringtone blared like sirens in the silence. A click as Natsumi picked up.
“Hey, Reiko, what are you doing, calling at 10? If my mum catches me on my phone, I’m dead.” She grumbled.
“Nat, you know if anything happens to me I want you to have my watch. You know, the gold and purple one from Venice.” I whispered into the plastic.
“Sure. What’s this all about? You’re not leaving, are you?” she said, calming down.
“Maybe. I just, you know, wanted to tell you that.” I fought to keep my voice normal.
“Are you sure you’re okay? You sound kinda ill.”
“I’m fine-” I coughed, and choked back tears at the same time “-but don’t forget our promise,”
“Never,” she swore vehemently. I don’t even know what ‘vehemently’ means, but it sounds right to describe how she sounded.
“Bye,” I whispered. Tears rolled down my nose. I ended the call, and turned the phone off.
I felt cold. Ice was slipping into my veins, and my knees wouldn’t hold me up much longer. I sank down, and closed my eyes.

*

The next thing I remembered was feeling warmer. Not as warm as I would have liked, but like someone blowing gently across my face. I shivered and sat up. My side ached, and I grasped at it. I was still in my uniform. Why would I be in a hospital in my school uniform? Didn’t they normally take your clothes and give you a scratchy cotton dress to wear? I looked up. I wasn’t in a hospital. Not one I’d ever seen.
The floor was white marble. The walls hung with drapes, shades of deep purple and rich green, with fringes of gold tassels all along the top, suspended by gold railings that twisted like snakes and wove in between the curtains like weeds. The ceiling was vaulted, criss-crossed with wooden beams and hung with chandeliers. The room itself seemed to funnel me inwards to stare down at a chair. The chair was pretty simple, yellowing wicker and cotton cushions sewed with little mirrors that gleamed in the crystal chandelier light. Behind the chair was a door. It could have been from any building anywhere in the world, just completely plain and simple. Its bronze handle twisted, and an old man hobbled through.
“Well, young lady, come here. Quite a misadventure you’ve had,” he wheezed through mostly empty gums. He clutched at a cane in his hands, twisting them repeatedly over a knot in the wood.
I pulled myself reluctantly to my feet and walked over. The stab in my side didn’t hurt now, wherever I was. My footsteps made no noise on the floor, when they should have made a racket in this hall.
As I approached him closer, I could see every wrinkle and crease in his wizened face. It was almost tree-like, or a wood carving of a man’s face. His small body hunched in the chair like a forlorn doll, but his almost toothless smile made the lines at his eyes curve upwards in glee. His short, thin legs stuck over the sides of the chair, miniscule compared to the sturdy legs of the wicker chair. His ragged clothes were out of another century, robes frayed but still bright and bold as daylight.
“Sir, sorry, but what is this place?” I asked, wonder seeping into my voice.
“Why, Reiko, this is the afterlife.” He said warmly.
I was dead. I was dead, gone, deceased, departed, dead. But how could this happen? I was only fourteen! I hadn’t had a fair chance yet! Who was to say I wasn’t going to invent a cure for cancer or something? I was never going to see my family again, not until...
No. I didn’t want to think of that. I couldn’t wish them dead, that would be wrong.
“I’m sorry,” the old man said glumly. He lowered his head, leaving me to myself. Something warm ran across my cheek, and I realized I was crying. It wasn’t fair; I’d been cheated out of my chance, and by my best friend, no less. Why would she do that? Betrayal and disbelief tore at my heart.

It's pretty solid. Good imagery without overdoing it. I'm going to pick at a couple technicalities but take this as a compliment because I think you are ready to advance to a next level:

(1) You have a tendency to string short choppy sentences together and you could combine many of them into longer more complex sentences. Example: "... stare down at a chair. The chair was pretty simple..." Combining those sentences will remove the awkward transition in which you refer to the chair twice in quick succession.
(2) Play around with constructing sentences never using the word 'was'. When we talk, 'was' is an extremely efficient word that helps us decribe things quickly in as few words as possible, so when we continue that habit into writing, we actually rob ourselves of opportunities to use more expansive language. It will seem like a weird thing to do at first, and you'll notice it can take a lot of words and dancing around to avoid 'was' but that exercise forces you to craft your sentences into more poetic arrangement and tempo.
(3) Don't overdo either one of those last two suggestions. If you have not yet completed a work, it's fine to just ignore all technical advice until later. If you are serious about completing something, completing it is more important than technicalities, so just remember the order... Write forward, experiment, explore, expand and develop, complete your work then think about technicalites when it's time to take the next step. (After completing a work, the next step is reworking it for technicalities and fine tuning your style.)

Overall, that's a positive reaction from me. You are doing a lot of things well, and discovering, tuning and finalizing your technicalities and styles might make you quite good.
