Hotel bathrobe, also known as bathrobe, is a robe worn after bathing and is an indispensable component of hotel linen.
A comfortable bathrobe can enhance the overall check-in experience of hotel guests. Let’s take you through the basic knowledge and production process of hotel bathrobes.
1： Fabric of hotel bathrobe
The hotel bathrobe fabric mainly includes terry cloth bathrobe, cut velvet bathrobe, waffle bathrobe, AB version double layer bathrobe, etc. Different fabrics have their own characteristics, suitable for different hotels and different seasons to wear.
Like towels, terry cloth is woven from thread or yarn, and is cut and sewn. The fabric is soft, absorbent, and warm and comfortable.
Fleece cutting refers to the process of cutting the terry of an ordinary towel to make the surface of the fabric covered with smooth fluff. Hotel bathrobes are generally cut from one side. The characteristics of a cut down bathrobe are soft and comfortable to use, with stronger moisture absorption and softness compared to ordinary uncut bathrobes.
Waffle pattern, also known as a Waffle pattern, is a square or rhombus concave and convex pattern with a strong three-dimensional sense. Therefore, the surface of the waffle bathrobe is characterized by its uneven texture, moisture absorption, flexibility, and breathability. The waffle fabric is thin, making it suitable for summer wear.
The AB version double layer bathrobe generally has a surface layer made of waffle or gabardine fabric, and the inner layer is mostly made of terry fabric or ultra-fine short plush. The surface layer is crisp and conformal, while the inner layer is warm and hygroscopic, suitable for autumn and winter wear, highlighting the taste and high-end of the hotel. The AB version of the double layer bathrobe will also be higher in price than the ordinary bathrobe due to its high cost and complex process.
2： Style of hotel bathrobe
Hotel bathrobe styles can be divided into kimono collar style and green fruit collar style according to the collar type.
3： Specification and weight of hotel bathrobe
Bathrobe specifications are generally considered from three main aspects: length, chest circumference, and sleeve length. In order to accommodate different groups of people and achieve a relaxing and comfortable effect for hotel guests, hotel bathrobes are generally loosely sized. The regular size of the hotel bathrobe is: Length: 115-124cm, Shoulder width: 53-55cm, Sleeve length: 53-55cm, Single side chest circumference: 55-66cm.
Common terry fabrics and cut down bathrobes typically weigh 1000g and 1100g, while higher hotels also choose 1200g and 1300g. Due to the higher material consumption of the Qingguo collar style than the kimono collar style, the Qingguo collar style made of the same specification of cut velvet towel cloth weighs about 100g more than the kimono collar style.
4： Color of hotel bathrobe
The color of hotel bathrobes is the same as the bedding, mainly in white. However, there are also many theme hotels that choose room linen consistent with the overall style of the hotel, so they also choose colored bathrobes. It is important to understand that when manufacturers customize colored bathrobes or unconventional fabric bathrobes, there is generally a positive and negative deviation in the quantity.
5： Decoration of hotel bathrobes
In order to enhance the overall design of the bathrobe, the hotel bathrobe will also be equipped with tooth stripes and embroidery. The commonly used tooth bar colors include gold, dark blue, pink, and white. Different color choices highlight different tastes and concepts.
Hotel bathrobe embroidery is generally embroidered on the left chest pocket, which is more beautiful and convenient for manufacturers to produce and operate. It can also be embroidered on the garment piece, cuff, back or patch pocket. Polyester thread is generally used for embroidery to avoid color fading or fading after washing.
