JBS of Denmark bamboo dressing gown and what you get
Short answer: A dressing gown in bamboo viscose is thinner and lighter than a terry robe and is used mostly indoors, morning and evening. JBS of Denmark has the model in both short and longer versions.
Jersey rather than terry
The terry robe soaks up water after a bath, while the jersey gown in bamboo viscose is meant as an indoor layer. It takes up less room, dries faster and is easier to pack. See the range in JBS of Denmark and bamboo dressing gown for men.
When the gown is the right solution
The gown is practical if you get up early and want something over your nightwear, or if you are home alone most of the day. If it also has to work after a bath, a terry robe is better. The difference is described in bathrobe or dressing gown.
Belt, pockets and length
Look for a belt with loops so it does not disappear in the wash, and for pockets sewn into the side seam. The length decides how much it covers when you sit down. The combination with nightwear is in bamboo nightwear for men.
Washing
Wash the gown at 40 degrees on its own, because the belt easily wraps around other clothes. Hang it to dry on a wide hanger so the shoulders are not pulled out. See the washing guide for bamboo clothing.
Frequently asked questions
Does a jersey gown soak up water after a bath?
Not like terry. It is meant as an indoor layer, not as a bathrobe.

It is not advisable. The heat wears the fabric and can pull the belt loops out of shape.
Which length is most used?
Knee length. It covers when you sit down without collecting dust from the floor.
