    Question Tartan bathrobes?

    So as i sit here in my bathrobe feeling comfy and free waiting for my waffles to cook i was just think that this is probably similar to what a kilt would feel like (as i dont have one yet, its in the mail and should be here in a day or two). But the though came to me if any one knew of any places to get a bath robe in a clan tartan? or any tartan for that matter, even if it was just a pattern printed on cloth (fleece) and not and actually tartan fabric. just a thought.

    I used to have a Viyella robe in something akin to a Royal Stewart. I believe my father has one in a dark blue/green combination, similar to Black Watch.

    Viyella is a mix of merino wool/cotton and is very comfortable. Light, soft, warm, colourfast and durable, it was an excellent robe. They aren't cheap but they are worth every penny.

    I second this Pendleton suggestion. It is the finest-quality American wool. My father had a Pendleton tartan wool robe that lasted from winter 1950 through winter 2007, with Mother making two lining replacements in all those years.

    Consider making one for yourself. The Pendleton tartan fabrics are really nice.

    I have a robe in a tartan pattern, but have no idea where the fabric came from, probably Fabric Land, it was made for me as Christmas present.

    If you could find a tartan woven in cotton flannel, it would be more comfortable against your skin than wool, and you could wash it when needed. It wouldn't be hard to make one, since patterns are easy to come by.

    I have two Pendleton woolen bathrobes. Of course, I can go to the Pendleton Mill, just a few miles east and grab one off the remander rack.

    Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
