Help ol' KQ Claus out here - I need a recommendation for a men's bathrobe. Individual is 6'4", slim build, 42L jacket.
I've done a little looking online but as usual the reviews are all over the place so I'm hoping you all can shed some light.

I’m in that world — never found one that fit
Just use a towel around the waist to answer the door now ;)
Kind of depends on what he wants - plush, light, absorbent, etc. - but this is my go-to during the winter, because it's stunningly soft, comfy and warm:

LL Bean has some nice ones. Wife bought me one a few years ago. Even got it monikered

Had good luck with the full length lands end terry robes. They come in 3 or 4 sizes and, while they're still cut fuller than I'd prefer, you can get a lot closer to the side he needs than you would with a one size fits all option. The terry material has held up really well to everyday use and tons of trips through the washer and dryer.
Ritz-Carlton has complimentary bathrobes.
I’ll 3rd lands end. I’m 6’2” 175 42 reg/long. Fits great

Have you considered buying him a kimono? I was at a bridal show at the Radisson in Roseville earlier this fall and in the "gifts for him" part of the show they had some men wearing some very sexy silk kimonos. I even thought about getting one for Andrew for Christmas.
Here you go. He’ll love it. Trust me.

I’d suggest polyester for dd. Otherwise all those embarrassing stains from his time in front of the computer will be a problemQuote:

Another vote for Land's End fleece robe. Comes well down the calves. I'm 6', 175 and have an XL. I have very long arms--a large would be too short in the arms. Length matters more than width with a bathrobe IMO. This is my winter robe. I also have a terry cloth robe for getting in and out of the spa. In the summer I wear a sarong (unless we have company, then I wear pajama pants--no wardrobe malfunctions.)
So back in the day the 400+CPA office I worked for would have the black tie xmas party at the mariott but you could get a subsidized room at the ritz next door for like $60 to avoid driving drunk. So the mariot in it's "presentation" of desert, every year the chefs would all parade through the dinner with something flaming, turn the lights off to see it etc. So totally wasted we would re-enact the presentation. Dressed only in our complimentary bathrobes and towels.Quote:

Reviews are sooooooooooo frustrating. People might mention a size but they don't give their measurements. Then there are some that seem totally off like this one:Quote:

WTF? An XL-Tall for someone who is 5'11" 190? That seems off unless of course they like it huge and long (though she does mention being worried about shrinkage). This is the robe you have - did it shrink?
My wife picked up a Ralph Lauren one for me for my birthday. Not normally a brand she would buy and not normally a brand I would wear but this bad boy is the nuts. Super lux. And not too spendy. I'm 6'1 and 165lbs. Size is M/L.
A smoking jacket? LOL!!

Your new boy toy sounds like a stud. In the interest of fairness, please post pics of his bare chest so that the maggettes on the board can properly evaluate the fit and make recommendations.Quote:

Best luck I've had for the winter versions is to buy from the 'big and tall' size ranges. They're baggy but damn near floor length. Think my most recent one cam from an Amazon seller.
Ask this guy:

I once had a thick full length robe with a hood on it. It was awesome. Just like Obi Wan Kanobi's actually. I miss it.
If it were me, KQ, unless you've gotten a good rec for a specific recent model, I wouldn't trust online. Sucks ordering what LOOKS like a nice plush bathrobe, only to have it be some miserable lightweight excuse of a thing.
If there is a Four Seasons hotel nearby (I think you're Seattle?...so the downtown Four Seasons is a good bet...I've stayed there a lot), go to the hotel store. They sometimes sell the very same heavy, ultra plush terry cloth robes that they use upstairs in their spa...the thing is the cat's meow of luxury...I've got one that's lasted for years! It might cost a bit more than the $80 or $90 that the online ones cost...I think I paid $139 or $149? for mine...but worth it.
Lacking that, Nordstrom's has a very similarly weighted one in their actual stores. I'm sure Land's End does too. Don't know about Banana Republic.
Another thing....I can't agree more with Oftpiste: whatever you end up buying, buy nice and long. I'm 6'3 also...and short silly bathrobes that show the knees because they're too short are HORRIBLE.....men's knees simply aren't that good looking! ;)
^^Hotel bathrobes are notoriously short. I have a collection, including four seasons.
Chateau Lake Louise has some pretty ok bathrobes.
