I bought mine in black to as part of a Halloween costume and found that it is awesome for a number of occasions beyond what I bought it for. They say one size fits all, well this may be true. I found my fit much better after I had it tailored to my height and size.

This is a great robe, I would recommend it to anyone who wishes to use it in dry conditions. Also it keeps you quite warm in cold climates. For me the only thing I find annoying is the hood, which doesn't keep wide across my face, it touches my eyes, but that may be just to do with the shape of my head.

My crimson robe arrived today (shipped super fast too) and it's solid! One size does indeed fit most! I am 6'3", 245lbs, 17.5" neck, 46 chest, 37 sleeve, and 36 waist; this garment engulfs me AND touches the floor. I've got a 24" melon for a head and the hood fits over that with ease as well. Probably going to order a more authentic waist cord/rope cincture from a clergy supply store, but otherwise this robe is class.

This is really a beautifully made robe. It has a suitably coarse appearance, but yet is very comfortable. The sole failing which prevents a five-star rating is that it's too darn short. The hem SHOULD be almost along the ground, for me - Joe Average at 5'10" - It comes up to like top-of-sock level. That's just too short. Making clothing that's a bit too big is better than too small! You can always fix Big.

Wow, the ONE thing that MR makes that fits me (and more)!!! I got the 2XL with some trepidation because I usually wear 3-4XL shirts - NOT TO WORRY! I'm 6'1", 300+ lbs and this thing is voluminous. Even with my massive shoulders, massive chest, and massive gut, this thing went right down to the ground. It is the perfect length cuz when I step, it "just" rides up over my foot so I don't walk on the hem. The material has a rough almost burlap texture but the inside is smooth and comfortable. The sleeves are long and cover the hands so it looks very...monkly and kinda mysterious. The only problem that wasn't a problem were the arm holes...they looked too small but when I put the robes on (over a heavy shirt) the robe fit fine with plenty of room for movement. The hood is very cool, it fits my giant grape perfectly and the back part is long and deep. I only had two problems with this robe, the first is the cheesy sash...it's made out of a heavy duty twill material and is very long but isn't really religious or anything; I think it was kind of an afterthought. The other problem was the hook at the throat. It's a modern metal wire hook and loop clasp assembly; very cheesy and soon to be replaced...I just have to figure out if I want to use a lacing system or some kinda toggle thing. But, overall, I'm phenomenally happy with this thing!!! IT FITS!!! w00t!!!

this habit is absolutely awesome. since i feel called to the diocesan(parish) priesthood in the Catholic Church I dont get a habit or any monastic stuff which i enjoy because I am a medieval history and church history fanatic. So i decided, i cant be monk but i cn have a habit of my own. the robe portion will work excellent as a cassock-like substitute around the parish on slow days and in the winter with the hood piece added. plus im just a history nut so i like to have outfits from different periods, but medieval is my favorite. the sash is poor though and just plain innaccuate. the benedictines would use a leather belt or a heavey black cord, like the Franciscans with their white cords. but awesome product overall. God bless!

Before I received my Robe I truly did not know what to expect, however upon receiving it I was down right impressed at the craftsmanship that went in to making it. The Robe are by far the best quality Robes on the market. (And believe me I’ve been looking for good one for a long time.) To sum it up, if you are looking for authentic and beautiful Robe of great quality. Look no further just go and add to cart and check out. Great Job M.R.’s.

We have used these Robes since 2002 in our religious order The Order of Saint Thomas, and they stand up to all the abuse our Friars and misiionaries put them through. They pass our feild test even Chicago to DR Congo. We dont want to use anything else. Br.Dave,OST http://Social.LCOCCI.ORG
