What is the difference between a Bown 100% Natural cotton fibre bathrobe and a Polyester Fleece Bathrobe ?

Polyester Fleece Bathrobes often look very similar to Bown of London bathrobes in appearance.

Polyester fleece feels soft & warm to the touch , 

However Polyester fleece is a synthetic material manufactured from the same family as polythene plastics

Which means that Polyester fleece garments are unable to breathe in the way that a natural cotton fibre does, 

Moisture will be trapped by the polyester fleece next to your skin & Polyester fleece garment wearers often start to feel damp and sweaty & unless the garment is regularly washed it starts to smell because the moisture & odour is retained inside the fabric. Our mens and womens dressing gowns are luxury products and we ensure the best quality for our customers. 

In our opinion nothing matches the quality and performance of 100% natural Egyptian cotton fibres as used in Bown of London bathrobes which provide our customers with years of faithful service.
