White Cotton Robe

Last week I saw a man exist a house with a few other people. He stood out because he was wearing a white robe, the kind that you wrap about yourself. He also had what appeared to have been tape or a piece of cloth sealing his mouth. Because of the way he was dressed I think he may have been observing some sort of religious event but I haven't found any religion that does this. Can anyone help?

Never heard of this one.

Maybe it was prank or a joke on someone there.

This sounds real strange. Was it a fraternity and he was the newby?

This vid was made on request a few month ago. So now I'm reuploading it for the people that still doesn't know about this trick. One of ...

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.

If there is a God, and He is advanced, beyond genius, full of love and completely capable, why would He choose to wear a robe, (supposedly cotton) and not a futuristic synthetic material with qualities we know nothing about yet? Would God prefer a loose robe over an efficient and sleek looking, body-conforming outfit, designed by truly gifted, devout craftsmen?
The writings of Joseph Smith mentioned nothing out of the ordinary regarding texture. Thus, cotton or wool would have been the fabric content (New York, circa 1820) of a robe that caused him no notice or need to describe the material.
wlenno92 - If robes were worn due to comfort, why don't Americans wear them as common apparel now?
youth pastor1955 - the sheep Christ mentioned indicate wool may have been the material of their robes.
mormon_4_jesus - What difference does it make? Are you serious? If God and Jesus appeared to a young boy in America 212 years ago, eery detail would be the proper scrutiny of eery intelligent soul. What the visitors wore would thus be far more important to us than what celebrities wear to special events. What one wears reveals decorum, respect, intellect and worth. If God and Jesus wore white robes as they reintroduced the pure gospel to earth again, why don't we now seek to immitate them, in our wardrobes? What mortals wear is quite significant, if you know much of history and have delved into diverse traditions.
Dropshortandduck - Mormonism is like a perfect teen arriving at a poor High School's prom, immaculately dressed, and the envy of all boys and girls. If fake, it's the greatest propped fiction on earth. If real, we're in trouble, and Mormons are in even more hot water, as they abandoned the most stringent values given during the formative era.

Sure wish I could determine WHY God and Jesus wear robes. Can someone answer this simple question? Why don't we, today wear robes?
Lady LDS - God supplied us with each other, even though He easily could have given an earth to each individual. He gave us each other for context and experience. I asked this simple question to learn of my fellows what they thought. I don't need to ask God why He chose a robe. I already know. I wear robes. Robes are simple. Equal. Convenient. Effective. Most appropriate, in any setting. I asked you, to see if you see what I do. I ask, wanting an answer...why don't we wear robes today? Why?

I presume that they wore white linen since this is the way the scriptures tell us the redeemed will dress. Which means the 'freeballers' are out of luck.

Revelation 3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

You always hear how the angels had long white robes...right? Who made them? and what material are they made of? Cotton? and if so are you saying sheep are in Heaven?Is there milk and honey in Heaven? and if so I guess bees and cows are in Heaven....Right?

Actually there was a numberless multitude that had made there robes white by great tribulation and they stood before the throne of God. These were not angels necessarily. The word angel means a messenger of God, kind of like a postman. I pray that the Kingdom comes and God has promised a land of milk and honey. The Kingdom comes to earth and the meek shall inherit the earth. This is the land of milk and honey not heaven. Heaven is the throne of God Matthew 5:34. The word robes actually means a garment. A garment made for the priest. It says there will be some that inherit that priesthood. It says some will become kings and priest, but remember God says man has not heard nor seen the things God has in store for them that love him. God Bless

My son is 9 months old, we are going to egypt next summer which is where my husband is from. Summers there are extremely hot as you probably know, and I want to get my son a galabeya/arab robe/thobe to wear. I plan to get something of a thin cotton and in white preferably, so he can just wear his nappy underneath and not be too hot in fussy babygros etc!

Does anyone know of anywhere I can get some for him?
