Muslin Bathrobe & Robes

A muslin robe is a bathrobe made of several layers of loosely woven cotton gauze: light and breathable, with more warmth for each added layer. Every cotton muslin robe here is cut unisex, so the same gauze robe suits women and men. Pick a kimono robe for an open, oversized drape or a hooded robe to pull the hood up after a shower.

How to Choose

• 2 layers: lightest and most breathable, for hot climates and travel.
• 4 layers: the warmest muslin weight, still lighter than a terry robe.
• Reversible: two 2-layer muslin pieces sewn together, a different color on each side.
• Hooded or kimono: a hood covers hair and neck after bathing; the kimono cut is open, without a hood.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is muslin different from a terry or waffle robe?

Muslin is stacked layers of thin cotton gauze, so it is lighter than a terry cloth robe and dries faster; a waffle robe uses a textured honeycomb weave. We compare the weaves in 4-Layer Muslin vs. Waffle Weave.

Are these muslin robes for women or men?

Both. Every robe here has a unisex, intentionally oversized cut, so women and men wear the same sizes.

Which size should I choose?

All five come in S-M, L-XL and XXL; the 2-Layer Muslin Bathrobe and the 4-Layer Hooded Muslin Robe also come in 3XL and 4XL. The cut is oversized. As a guide, on the 4-Layer Muslin Kimono Robe S-M fits about US 0-8, L-XL US 10-14 and XXL US 16-20.

How do I wash a muslin robe?

Machine wash cold with similar colors, tumble dry low or hang to dry, and avoid bleach. Muslin may shrink slightly on the first wash and gets softer with every wash after that.

Is a 4-layer muslin robe warm enough for winter?

For most homes, yes. The four gauze layers trap air between them, so the robe feels warm without bulk, and it is still lighter than terry. If you run warm or live in a hot climate, choose 2 layers.

Where are the robes made and are they certified?

They are handwoven from Turkish cotton in Denizli, Turkey. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certifies that the product meets the standard's limit values for harmful substances.
