Hooded Bathrobe

A standard waffle-weave robe (China, 300–500 unit run) lands around $12–20; a plush terry robe runs $22–35; a hooded or shawl-collar robe with heavier terry adds $5–10 for the extra pattern pieces and fabric weight.

Terry for maximum absorbency and a plush hotel feel; waffle for a lighter robe that dries faster, suited to warm climates and spas; microfiber for the lowest cost and fastest dry time, at the expense of plushness.

Typically 300–500 units per size and colorway, since dyeing and fabric are ordered by the roll or dye lot, similar to other cut-and-sew apparel.

A hood adds its own shaped panel and seam, a real assembly step a collarless robe skips; a shawl-collar robe needs a structured, often interfaced collar piece for the rolled lapel look. Both cost more than a simple collarless or kimono-style robe.

Open kimono-style robes skip the belt closure point, so a single size drapes acceptably on a wider range of bodies; belted robes give a more tailored, structured fit but need more precise sizing.

Requirements vary by market and hotel brand standard rather than being universally mandatory, but many commercial hospitality contracts require flame-retardant treatment or inherently flame-resistant fiber content. Confirm the buyer's specific compliance requirement before sourcing.

Robes generally fall under HS 6108 (women's) or HS 6107 (men's) for knitted/crocheted robes, with woven equivalents under HS 6208/6207. Confirm per SKU based on knit vs. woven construction and gender classification.
