Boys fleece dressing gown
The one they reach for without being asked
It dries you, it doesn't just cover you — the loops lift water off the skin, so you can go from the shower to the kettle without reaching for a towel first
It gets softer with every wash — cotton loops open up over time — this is one of the few fabrics that is better in its second year than its first
It handles a hot wash — the one fabric here you can wash at 60°C when someone in the house has been ill
It washes and comes back the same — no shrinking at the cuff and no shape lost at the shoulder
30 days to change your mind
Send it back, no questions asked.
Overview
keyboard_arrow_downEverything below is why this towelling dressing gown is worth the hook it hangs on. Cotton woven into raised loops, exactly like a bath towel — which is the whole point of it. In use: it dries you, it doesn't just cover you — the loops lift water off the skin, so you can go from the shower to the kettle without reaching for a towel first. Made for the ten minutes after a bath.

Care Machine wash at 40°C, tumble dry low. No fabric conditioner — it coats the loops and they stop absorbing.
Towelling is woven with raised loops on both faces, and those loops are what hold water. It is the same construction as a bath towel, which is why a towelling robe dries you instead of sitting damp on top of you. That is the difference between a towelling robe and one that only looks the part.
In use it shows up as one thing: it dries you, it doesn't just cover you — the loops lift water off the skin, so you can go from the shower to the kettle without reaching for a towel first. That is also what boys towelling dressing gown is there for.
Parents ask about warmth straight out of the bath and a belt they can tie themselves before anything else, and they are right to — it is where most robes fall down. That is also what boys dressing gown is there for.
Towelling is heavy once wet, and it takes its time on the line. If you want something that dries in an hour, a waffle or a microfibre robe is the honest answer. The exact wash line is in the specifications above, so it is there when you need it. Treated that way, a towelling bathrobe is a five-winter garment rather than a one-season one — which is the difference between something you keep on the back of the door and something you replace every autumn.

The three traps of a badly chosen dressing gown
What size should I take?
keyboard_arrow_downGo by age, and size up if you are between two. The robe is cut loose and the belt adjusts, so a size too big is worn for two winters and a size too small is worn for two weeks. The full age and height table is in the size guide above the buy button.
What is it actually made of?
keyboard_arrow_downCotton towelling. In the hand it is thick, absorbent and reassuringly heavy. In use that means it is it dries you, it doesn't just cover you.
How do I wash it?
keyboard_arrow_downMachine wash at 40°C, tumble dry low. No fabric conditioner — it coats the loops and they stop absorbing.
Will it be too warm indoors?
keyboard_arrow_downTowelling is a warm fabric in its own right, and it is the one that keeps working when the bathroom is cold.
