Bathrobe cotton linen unisex

This bathrobe from the Portuguese weaving mill B. Sousa Dias e Filhos is not made of classic terry, but of a kind of velour fabric with honeycomb pattern. Here, as with terry, a third thread system forms loops by being tied into the base fabric as a loosely stretched warp. These so-called floats are cut open so that the thread ends are perpendicular to the fabric and form a soft, velvety pile. In this bathrobe, however, only the honeycombs are woven as velour, which on the one hand gives it an incredibly fluffy surface that nestles softly against the skin. On the other hand, air can circulate in the smoothly woven spaces between the honeycombs. At the same time, heat-insulating air is stored in the honeycomb pile.
B. Sousa Dias weaves the velour with a linen content of 17%, which makes the medium-weight (basis weight 420 g/sqm), yet immensely soft fabric a bit more grippy and absorbent. The unisex bathrobe is made up with a tie belt from the outer fabric with small honeycombs and two side pockets. At the collar and arm ends, the honeycombs are larger, creating a nice contrast.
