@RedOx - Can’t say. I bought it for a Christmas gift and haven’t even gotten it out of the box yet. I guess I should, so I can decide whether or not to get more.

@jewelshound It might be good if she likes those short women’s robes. I’m 5’ 5" and have a robe that’s a solid 10 inches shorter than this one. It makes a great backwards sleeved blanket. I don’t know about this off-white color though.
So… One size fits most… That usually means “too blasted small for fully grown people”, but occasionally means “drowns a size 12”. Which is these?
Yes that is correct grammar. “Which is” refers to the options in the paragraph, ie, which one of these options is correct? “These” refers to the robes, which are plural. But the object of the sentence is singular.
Edit: per @Office_Zombie, they are too small for grownups.
@joeywolf I strongly considered a comma after “Yes”. That is the most common usage, and would also have been correct. In the end I decided that the sentence is a single, solid declaratory statement, and that it was stronger without the comma. This construction is not incorrect, and we’ve already seen that I’m not afraid of unusual forms. <grin>
@kaighintze It should have been “which is this.” Sure there are multiple robes in this sale, but they were never mentioned in your paragraph. Because of this, “this” would be inferred to refer to either “one size fits most” or the sale, both of which are singular. Also, the sale is for one robe. Even if you were to come up with a way for what you said to be technically correct from a grammar standpoint, it would still be poorly written.
@Fen_Star The “these” need not be mentioned in the paragraph to be grammatically appropriate. For example, the “it” at the start of your paragraph, which refers to the structural form of his phrase, refers to a thing which was not otherwise directly mentioned in your paragraph.
@medz You’re just worried about your knees? With a 24" chest I’d need 2 of them to go around my… torso. And a 43" length might do as long as I don’t sit, walk, bend, reach… Yeah, if I got 2 of them I could cobble together something that would cover me as long as I stand still.
@thismyusername Heres the skinny on the 24 inch chest measurement … its 24 inch measured across the back from underarm to underarm that now makes sense, the item is on ebay for 14.99 plus 7 bucks shipping everything on the antonino website is three to 4 x the normal price so looks like a 20 dollar robe all day long hardly the deep discount were used to from team Meh.I’ll be passing on this deal .
I bought a possibly stinky robe from Meh a few months ago that I’m very pleased with. It was not stinky and it fit perfectly, though I’m a relatively small person.
I wonder if due to a ton of the recent scandals involving men who were robes innapropriately if the market for robes is tanking.
Although I own one I really find robes to be obnoxious as clothing.
My husband and I stayed at a B&B last January and loved the robes there so much we found them online and ordered a couple for ourselves. We got two more for guests when we got the new hot tub. Then we decided to say fuggit and bought 14 more as Christmas gifts for everyone in our families.
@LinnE Last time I was at a B,B&B I really liked the robes too. They were great for getting out of Bed or the Bath. I liked them so much so that I walked out with one. Security chased me for a few blocks but I got Beyond them.
@tjmarek Boca Terry. We got the plush-lined microfiber robes. They come with super-chintzy slippers, which is what I’m actually going to wrap up, then have everyone open them at once. “Oh, hey, LinnE - what…a…what a…gift…I guess…” and then pull out a tote full of the unwrapped robes. Because I’m lazy but creative enough to hide it.
I’m also doing the same thing I did last year and wrapping a metric shit-ton of Meh stuff I’ve been gathering for the past year and dumping it in the middle of the floor for a free-for-all Mehgiftganza. Now you know who bought all those ring-shaped phone stands.
@growyoungagain That May be true but pockets full of candy corn or almost expired or just expired fruit cake would have made this deal better. Just think if Meh has gone and collected then saved all of last years unwanted fruit cakes just for today. It would have been Oprah epic, you want a robe you get a fruit cake, everyone gets a fruit cake.
So - just to be OCD about it - the fabric is called “Coral” - a type of fleece; but the robe is WHAT color? White, and only white? Unfortunately, I’m serious - because it sure looks grey-ish or something on the “Meh” website, and white on the Antonioni (sp?) website.
Don’t generally like to advertisements on my clothing - unless they’re free tee-shirts from liquor or beer companies. Just sayin’…
I digress - so these come in white only???
@RiotDemon Thank you. I think I’m going to pass even if I have non-buyer’s remorse in the morning. I wish I’d bought more of the faux-snuggies backwards robes when Meh offered them. Buying for a 93-yr. old grouchy old man isn’t easy!
Bad timing Meh. I went to a Halloween party dressed as a “Weinstein” This robe would have been perfect! I do have a Big Lebowski party coming up so, there’s still hope.
The problem with robes (for me, anyway) is they’re too heavy for our climate. I get up and get dressed in the morning, don’t lounge. The only time I would wear a robe is out of the shower and who wants to start sweating when you’re squeaky clean?
I just don’t get why people like robes. I got a nice one years back, thinking if I tried it, I’d get onboard. But the sleeves are baggy enough to get in food if I eat, I have to readjust the fit pretty often, and heat constantly escapes from my legs and the chest opening, especially if I move around.
I have a pretty extensive loungewear collection (work from home), and I’ll take a pair of fleece pants and a broken-in long-sleeve shirt over a robe any day.
In seriousness, I find long robes to be used with the equivalent purpose of a blanket but you have more mobility. You couldn’t eat anything with your hands under a blanket, so the sleeves allow that sort of thing to happen, you can also get up to grab the TV remote without the blankey falling on the floor. Snuggies are also not great if you’ll be standing up as they just fall down off your arms. I don’t find the chest hole to be an issue, but the legs will be cold if it’s not long enough.
Several winter seasons ago, I wore a robe to the gas station to fill the tank. The robe worked very well in this capacity, but I had to pay close attention not to shut it in the car door. I’m sure ladies with flowing dresses have this problem too.
@medz But again, loungewear fixes all those problems without introducing new ones. I can easily eat with a long-sleeve t-shirt or light sweater on. I can walk to the kitchen for a coffee top-off with little heat loss. I can (and often do) leave the house in loungewear for short trips, and it’s far more socially acceptable than a robe (Cousin Eddie!). I have a wide spectrum of pieces (flannel pants, fleece pants, track pants, athletic shorts, etc.) to adjust based on the weather, my activity level, and how I feel that day instead of just having a binary “robe on/robe off” choice.
Crucial fact here: I’m not a blanket person. I sit on the couch in the clothes I have on, only getting a blanket if I’m going to take a nap, which only happens once every few months or so. If I get cold, I turn up the heat, put on warmer house clothes (again, I have a lot), or turn on the fireplace.
Q: What’s your return policy?
A: If it’s damaged, defective, or just DOA, we’ll either refund or replace it at our discretion. Just fill out our support form and tell us all about it.
We DO NOT accept returns if you just decided you didn’t want it, don’t like the color, or just feeling a little buyer’s remorse. You might try eBay - with as cheap as you probably got it, you could even end up making a little off it. Or hone your reputation for generosity by giving it to someone a little less picky.
@hocott You might want to try writing in to https://meh.com/support? There is a marginally helpful hall monitor I’ll ping for you as well. He appears bored today as he was trying to divide by zero earlier. Hey @narfcake?

@daveinwarsh Bunch of Robers!
I think Stallone wore this same robe in Rocky…
@somf69 Is this refurbished?
It’s back, yay! I love the Friday video.
Maybe it’s a nonbreaking space like the ones in this post.
I use a robe as a more acceptable “Sleeved Blanket”. I absolutely need a new one.

Size?
@jewelshound , one size fits very few.
@bayportbob Tent size my guess! You can always cut it up and make a few blankets. Don’t forget, polyester stretches so you might get a couple child size blankets. )
@Dabbyb Oh, bless your little heart.
I need to replace my old, worn-out, yellowed robe …
…so, you got one in yellow?
@phendrick Drink enough water and the problem solves itself.
Seems small. They posted these specs for it on Morning Save
Dimensions:
Sleeves: 22"
Total length: 43"
Chest: 24"
Go robe yourself!
I just bought one of these on Morning Save for $20, obviously I got fleeced by the folks at meh:(

I’m 6’5" so I’ll pass. My wife is 5’10" and it would appear it would be a bit small for her as well.

@kaighintze You shore talk purty!
@kaighintze which are these, homie.
@kaighintze Maybe; but, what about the (missing) comma after “Yes,” and the periods in “i.e?” Your last sentence is is incomplete.

Grrrr. o.k., I’m a shut in, but the last Christmas I was let out, do you know how many bathrobes were on sale for ridiculously low prices?
All of them.

@hanzov69 It worked! Your order number is: slow-circular-lager

No thanks.
I want one that goes past the knees.
@medz it would be nice if they had photos of actual people wearing the robes.
@medz You’re just worried about your knees? With a 24" chest I’d need 2 of them to go around my… torso. And a 43" length might do as long as I don’t sit, walk, bend, reach… Yeah, if I got 2 of them I could cobble together something that would cover me as long as I stand still.
@RiotDemon …or at least put a banana for scale…
@RiotDemon I think Irk and Glenn (and baby arms?) would be offended by that statement!
@mehcuda67 I’m fine with that.
@kaighintze That’s got to be 24" flat and not circumference.
…unless your chest is over 48 inches around?
@medz Should go past the knees if you’re 5’ 6" or under*.
*based on my own knee positioning; results may vary
@rattata I am a full sized person, so yes, my chest size is over 48 inches.
Can anyone who has one of these up there at meh or bought one on morningsave verify that the 24inch chest is just the width when it’s laying flat…?
Is this the measurement the 24 is coming from?
@thismyusername Heres the skinny on the 24 inch chest measurement … its 24 inch measured across the back from underarm to underarm that now makes sense, the item is on ebay for 14.99 plus 7 bucks shipping everything on the antonino website is three to 4 x the normal price so looks like a 20 dollar robe all day long hardly the deep discount were used to from team Meh.I’ll be passing on this deal .
These even come with your name on it if your name happens to be Antonino.
@Lister You could have your name legally changed to ‘Antonino’.
I bought a possibly stinky robe from Meh a few months ago that I’m very pleased with. It was not stinky and it fit perfectly, though I’m a relatively small person.
@Fuzzalini i’m a fatty how does this information help me
@Fuzzalini I love that robe- it’s perfect for summer.
My wife likes to wear the color Coral. This robe is not the Coral color my wife likes.
She also likes Mauve. Yeah, I did not know such colors existed until I got married.
@hchavers Yeah, my default color map had a depth of 4 bits before I got married.
@mehcuda67 Clothing really only comes in two colors in my wardrobe: clean or dirty.
/giphy coral robe
@medz , see, one size does not fit all.
@medz There’s more to that animation, though…
@SirLouie Aw…I was hoping he puked or something.
Is it me or do they look like they are Sims?
I wonder if due to a ton of the recent scandals involving men who were robes innapropriately if the market for robes is tanking.
Although I own one I really find robes to be obnoxious as clothing.
Does it smell like wet cardboard at least?
why so cheap? Were they endorsed by Segal?
My husband and I stayed at a B&B last January and loved the robes there so much we found them online and ordered a couple for ourselves. We got two more for guests when we got the new hot tub. Then we decided to say fuggit and bought 14 more as Christmas gifts for everyone in our families.
This wasn’t the robe. Sorry, Meh.
@LinnE , if i got a hot tub i sure wouldn’t wear a robe in it.

@tjmarek Boca Terry. We got the plush-lined microfiber robes.

@bayportbob We’re evangelical never-nudes.
My wife likes robes, I prefer her sans robes. I’ll save the $16 and keep my floor cleaner by not buying this robe.
Is there Candy Corn in the pockets?
@bleedmichigan no, but it’s made of 100% synthetic polyester. Both are PLASTIC!
@growyoungagain That May be true but pockets full of candy corn or almost expired or just expired fruit cake would have made this deal better. Just think if Meh has gone and collected then saved all of last years unwanted fruit cakes just for today. It would have been Oprah epic, you want a robe you get a fruit cake, everyone gets a fruit cake.
Well there’s something to (maybe not) look forward to.
@cinoclav Is this real? Is there some kind of meh chatroom somewhere where @snapster &co make these important decisions?
