Deep purple or burgundy velvet smoking jacket with cravat. You'll be the toast of the Teams calls
Job done.
I'm sure I'm not alone in finding myself getting a lot more wear out of my dressing gown at the moment. Working from home, when the heating goes off during the middle part of the day the old dressing gown keeps me warmer than an extra top, and helps keep the legs warm while sitting at a table.
However, it's not an article of clothing I'd previously given much thought to, so what can people recommend as a really good dressing gown?

or New & Lingwood.
This forum came up trumps for slippers, I'm disappointed with the responses so far.
I’m uncertain as to how those might disappoint....
I’ve favoured a kimono ever since seeing Charles Gray as Dikko Henderson wear one in “You Only Live Twice”.
I believe that was also the inspiration behind Jolyon Maugham‘s choice last Christmas.Originally Posted by seabiscuit
Marks and Sparks. Decent and last for ages.
That's what I'm sporting at the moment...but looking for the next step up...without going the full Terry Thomas I should add.
Without spending silly money Derek Rose for all things bedroom related.
I have a pyjamas and dressing gown.

I prefer my dressing gown to have a hood.
This - I found a lovely, heavy cotton yukata in New York, and grabbed two of them so I’d have a spare. It’s cut for the American frame, so it’s the right length and sufficiently voluminous to wrap around properly. I’d live in it, if I could.
How ironic this thread pops up - for years I've been in the no dressing gown camp but the wife purchased me an ugg Brunswick gown for my birthday and I am a complete convert!!!
So much so I've gone and brought ugg slippers to match and find myself lounging around in it at every opportunity and after 6 months of ownership I wouldn't hesitate to buy another its so warm and comfortable :)

Just steal one from the next hotel you stay in...
I also have a lightweight cotton dressing gown for the summer, definitely need 2.
Wow £2,200 for a cashmere dressing gown! You could buy 8% of a ss Rolex for that ....
My recent stay in hospital for a spinal op was preceded by a leaflet urging me to take pyjamas and a dressing gown, so I did.
Nobody else in the ward did. They were all wearing shorts and T-shirt tops.
I was sitting there like Noel Coward; all that was missing was a glass of brandy and a cigarette holder.
T-shirt and shorts for me next time.
I just got myself a pair of Mahabis slippers and can recommend. They come in sizes up to 12.5 and whilst looking like backless they actually have a black neoprene heel so they don’t flop about.

Have you heard some people reference a bathrobe / dressing gown as a 'housecoat' ? I don't like that term at all.
I'm thinking 'dinner at eight' (1933) with John Barrymore and a cigarette holder .

Sooo disappointing coming from you uncle alec.
I was expecting you’d take brandy and fags next time.
I also wish there isn’t the need for a next time.

I hope it is although this came out the mouth of a male. He said to me "housecoat Vs dressing gown"

If you are unable to go to a hotel in the near future then you can always go to the place that supplies the hotels. I bought my wife one of these for her birthday. It is the archetypal fluffy hotel dressing gown and it is excellent. She virtually lives in it and it it is holding up well.

For an extra £8 or so you can have your name embroidered on it too.
Always loved the 80s casuals stuff. I have this gown

Just for ref I don’t have a cashmere one, would be nice though.

Probably my first ever Ebay coup was a NOS Sulka still in the original box for £50 - given the condition I'm very nervous about wearing it. Probably Christmas day.
In any case I fear we're overlooking the Kashmiri option, as opposed to the cashmere...
Wellies optional.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Sulka? Blimey uber deluxe. Remember looking at those in GQ back in the 80s. They were expensive then. Peter Wyngarde as Jason King prob had one or Leslie Phillips. Well Hello.
Or just wear warmer clothes?
I actually tried this today, worked very well, don’t really like wearing the dressing gown to say cook or eat breakfast in, but sitting working was fine.
