This is the First of the series that I plan to bring about for the benefit of students, who are preparing for entering into such industries. It would also give a brief overview of the overall category.
These are mainly used in the hotel industry. A bathrobe is usually made from toweling or other absorbent textile, and may be donned while the wearer's body is wet, serving both as a towel and an informal garment.
The common Types are as follows:
1. Organic Bathrobes: These are made of premium range of organic cotton. These are suitable for both the genders.
2. Terry Bathrobes: Most of the bathrobes are terry bathrobes. Made of 100% cotton these can be plain dyed and are available in various sizes such as M, L XL or XXL. Their supply price is 5-10$ FOB. These can be made of bath towel, with rectangular shape. These can be woven in jacquard if design is offered. Common yarns used are 21s, 16s and 32s. The weight varies from 380gsm to 700gsm. Sizes are normally 70cm x 140cm, 50cm x 100cm, 40cm x 60cm and 30cm x 50cm. Normally they are available in the packings of 12pcs/bag, 48pcs/carton or any other customised order.
