Does anyone know of any good online sites for spa / hot tub robes
-
I have tried and tried to find a good source for a high end robe and cannot....I wanted to carry them......If you have any luck...Please let me know....
-
What would you be willing to pay for a really nice, high quality robe? I have a source, but have resisted from carrying them due to the cost.

I wonder how High End you want to go. We are looking to buy our 2nd set of robes. Ours are shot. Mine is probably worse as I've probably spilled chemicals on mine a few time. Ours get a lot of wear and tear, so I just look for a semi-plush terry cloth one. We bought our first ones from the Big and Tall (I'm both) catalog at JCPenny.
-
If you don't mind it saying "HotSpring", you can order one on our website at www.ilovemyspa.com. They're very, very nice and thick. I believe they're $80. We gave some away as door prizes at our VIP Night and they were a big hit. I'll find a pic.

Just bought a nice, thick, heavy robe for my wife from Sears.....$70 marked down to $42. They had other nices ones a little less expensive as well. Not online but it was just what I was searching for. Good luck.

We purchased a couple of shipments of 14oz. plush terry cloth robes with our crest embroidered on them and sent them to customers that referred business to us. They were plush robes and would be considered very nice. We commonly referred to them as "Regency" robes as they were not cheap robes either in cost or in the look. We still have a precious few that we use for wet testing.
Our supplier dissolved into thin air when it was time to reorder them and it has been difficult to find a robe that compares to it at a reasonable cost. We have handled a few other robes since them, but most people want them included in the transaction for free as "negotiations" continue.
My boss, my wife, won't let me reorder them even if I could find them because she didn't want to be in the "robe" business because of too many comments from people. They absolutely loved the plush robe, and when they noticed the price we had on them, $80 they either wanted them free or were offended that we would suggest they should pay a price for them. Their usual retort was, they could find a better robe elsewhere. Incidently, that was $15 over our cost.
We have since then found the same 14 oz. robe at a very exclusive place that sell's them very sucessfully at $149.95. I guess it is the type of business your in, exclusive place's don't negotiate, you either pay, or you do without.
If you are looking for a resource for robes, you can PM me, but what you will be looking for is a 12 ounce or a more luxurious 14 ounce cotton, terry cloth robe, plus shipping. Natural cotton or egyptian cotton

Shh! Just bought wifey a pale yellow terry cloth robe at JC Penney's for $20. ;D Not real thick, but decent.
-
I just give my wife a comforter and tell her to stop whining :D
-
What I was hoping for...is some really high end robes...not what you would find at a Penny's or Sears ....not that there is anything wrong in any way with them..I was just just trying to find something very rich and elegant something that is uncommonly plush....If its not than it makes no sense for us to offer them...
-
Some time ago I found some of the most plush hooded terry cloth robes I've ever seen. They were literally almost an inch thinc...... Problem was, I'd have to sell them for close to $200................. got a NICE free sample out of the inquiry though ;D
-
Doc,
That inch thick robe sounds like a great anniversary gift, but it would be over kill for our indoor spa. We had our 32nd in October. ;)
I bet there are a couple of tub lovin' males out there who would gladly pay for a luxurious robe for their lovers. ;D
I hate shopping or I would still be looking. The Penney's robe will do for indoors, but if outdoors, I would want a thicker one.
-
IMO, if you are going to offer robes, you ought to go for the high end products and charge the big bucks. Anything else is too easily shopped down and around.
High quality robes are not easily found.
-
Doc and J_MCD...
That's what I am looking for the real upper end robe.....again....I shop at sears and Penny's and when I am buying for me....I would be fine....we just want to try and offer that something extra that you do not see most places...

I did some looking and came up with these leads. I will also check out our billing invoice for the source we had. I think maker was in the Southeast in the Carolina's, I will let you know. But these may give you some ideas. One is very pricey.

Old Navy has some really nice and warm an super soft fleece robe for around $30.00.
-
Bed Bath and beyond Also has a realy nice thick one for under 70 bucks thats were i got my wifes last year ;D
-
There's a place on-line called "thirsty towels" I believe.
They seem to be a high end robe place.
-
I purchased a robe from LLBean.com. They are nice, thick and reasonably priced.

Finding a qualitly robe that is right for you and your family is always a tough find. The robe that I found to be the best for me and my family is the "Cypress" bath and spa robe. It is very comfortable, durable and stylish. I have also turned severval peaple onto them and they have liked them very much. I hope this helps. Good luck in your search for the perfect robe!

Check your nearet Arctic Spa Dealer, as Arctic has a very heavy duty robe with a hood. I can ship one if you like. They cost about $80.

Pretty much any dealer can get you a spa robe. What seperates the Arctic spa robe from other spa manufactures spa robes?

Tha HotSpring Spa Robe is fully insulated & comes with a state of the art belt that loops around the waist and fits all size spa goers. It features two deep pockets to store your spa goodies in and is emblazoned with the raised HotSpring Logo, it comes in multiple color choices of white.
-
Sounds really nice! I do know the Cypress brand offers "Micro Chenille" technology on some of there robes. Basically, the benefit of that is it will feel better(softer than cashmere) and will last longer, so it will save you time and money.
-
Sam's club had terry robes for a limited time. They are heavy and thick. They came in white. blue and pink. Their web site only has white. The cost was about $30.
-
I just bought 2 nice robes from Linens 'N Things. I think they were $40 a piece. BUT...they had some very nice, high quality, high-end robes like the ones you find in upscale hotels also. They had about 4 different styles that ranged in price from $80-$140.
Linens 'N Things had the micro-chenile also.
-
We got some from Land's End, very nice and heavy duty... (even did the monogram thing ;D)

I have several spa robes that I keep in my room leading out to the tub. 1 for me and 1 for my wife, plus 2 clean ones are hanging there for quests.
My and my wife's robe were gifts from the Mandaly bay hotel in Vegas and are about 4 years old and have held up very, very well.
The other two robes my folks bought for me last year. They appeared to be a very high quality, and are very thick, but I have noticed that after just 1 year, they are getting a bit thread bare in the back. (From the washing?)
If you can, get the best ones you can afford, (or perhaps get the cheapest and buy alot of them).

The Arctic Spa Robe's are very thick. They also have a hood, which is nice for cold weather (along with keeping the falling snow off your head as your walking back into your house).
After looking at cypress robes. The Arctic Robe looks most like the Terry Velour Hood. With only looking at a picture I can't tell which one is thicker.

LL Bean has some "fleece" robes for women and men.
The nice thing about LL Bean is everything you buy from them is 100% guranteed satisfcation. You can return anything at any time. This is not to say that everything last for ever, but if you ever felt you did not get your money's worth from thier products, they take it back no questions asked.
Guarentee is based on your satisfaction, not leagth of time.
-
You know what?
Damn all of you!
Every time I think I have everything I could desire, one of you has to come up with a question that makes me realize that I too need it too.
Robes... yes.... then my life would be complete.

Doc does this line offer embroidering? Please forward me their info we are looking for this kind of product to sell with our Crocs line of shoes.

EBAY it has everything. We just bought 4 off of there for the celebtration of our first tub. HS Vanguard.
-
I have a Linen and Things robe that is thick terry with a hood. They are in the $40-50 and can be purchased on line or in the store.
Mine is dark green and somehow I've gotten a couple of fades spots on it from chemicals I guess, so if you get something that isn't white or off white, it may show spots over time.

If in Canada, President's Choice has some lovely Turkish Cotton Bath Robes: http://presidentschoice.ca/HouseandHome/ProductDetails.aspx/id/17638/name/PCTerryRobe/Type/3/catid/313 for $30 each. They come in 3 colours and are thick enough for winter and light enough for summer. We bought 6! One for all four of us and two for guests. Very nice. But not online, I think you have to hunt them down as not all stores carry them...
-
Just purcahsed my wife a robe for christmans from Younkers.
It was on sale from $72 to $26.
With all of this talk on robes I just couldn't resist buying it for her so she is nice and warm when she walks out in the snow and below freezing wind chill conditions to get in our spa.

A friend of mine work for Gore-Tex and he states the will be coming out with robes and slippers equipped with Gore-Tex technology, sometime next year!
-
geee I must be a pooooooor soul....Hubby bought me a terry cloth robe from Wal-Mart for christmas! :'(
-
No worries backpain, I am sure your hubby bought the high end robe from Walmart.
-
geee I must be a pooooooor soul....Hubby bought me a terry cloth robe from Wal-Mart for christmas! :'(
Don't worry Bachpains, It might be ok. Many folks here have bought the robes from Walmart thinking they were getting a good deal.
I just hope if you ever need service, or have any questions, Walmart can help you out.
Next time, rememebr, it's best to shop around at several robe dealers, and test them all out. Not all robes are going to be the same for everyone. You need to find the Robe that is right for YOU.
Once again, Next time go to a local robe dealer, and make sure you get a good warrenty.
-
Ok then spahappy??? does Coleman or Maxx spas sell the high end hot tub robes? and if so how much???? and are they good quality? what about warrentee???
-
I am not familiar with any robe that can withstand the spa chemicals. There is usually some chemical staining. I would reccommend going with white or off-white. I assume if a rpbe manufacturer does team up with gore-tex that will be the solutiion.
