Cotton Velour 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.

im looking at robes..both 100% cotton

nothing they are both cotton, the velour has a softer plush texture, which feels nicer when wearing it..

Girls and Boys Kids Hooded Terry Velour Turkish Robe Bathrobe Royal Blue

I'm looking for a dressing gown for myself and my girlfriend - one each of course, not one to share ;-) - and am a bit confused by all the different materials available! There's cotton, polyester, velour? I'm looking for something nice and fluffy, comfy and warm. Mmmmmmmmm......

I seem to have found a few that say towelling on the inside and velour on the outside which sounds good. Interested if anyone has any personal preferences/experiences?

Thanks!
Guys, although I do really appreciate your comments and I can imagine that silk robes are AMAZING, I'm looking for something to keep me warm lounging around the house. Silk isn't going to keep me warm! :-(

yup, terry cotton on the inside and velour on the outside. just checkd my label, reger (think janet reger) at debenhams. got it reduced after xmas, down from £70ish to £17. bargain. and its aubergine, my fave colour. lots on-line tho if you wanna spend money. can't beat 'the white company'. class.

just read your extra. still go with the white company. they've got lovely lounge wear. wish i could afford the whole collection.
