Vintage 40s-50s jacquard dressing robe by Towncraft. Supple & luxurious drag of vintage rayon against the skin is part of what makes mid-century mens dressing gowns so desirable. Add the beauty of a subtle figured pattern -- in this case, lyrical looping with a high sheen, set against matte faille ribbing. Matching belt -- double-stitched seams -- one patch pocket. .
