Canyon Group Sizing Assistance and Care Instructions

Canyon Group Robe Sizing Information: Rose Garden Boutique carries three styles of Canyon Group chenille bathrobes, the 48-inch wrap robe, the 48-inch zip-front robe, and the 36-inch kimono wrap robe.  All robes are sized generously and for comfort and are available in a wide range of sizes, designs, and colors.  Although the 56-inch, vintage-inspired fitted robes have all been recently discontinued by Canyon Group, we do have a few designs remaining in stock.  Our inventory is limited to current stock only for this robe style. Please use the table below to assist you in selecting the appropriate size.  All sizes are US sizes.  International customers, we recommend you consult an online, size conversion chart to ensure you select the proper size. Robe Style Approximate Ladies` Size (as suggested by Canyon Group) Approximate Chest Measurement (measured from side seam across to side seam, just below arm) 48-Inch Wrap Robe  (available in sizes XS - 5X) XS = 4 19 inches Small = 6-8 21 inches Medium = 10-12 23 inches Large = 14 24 inches XL = 16 25 inches 1 X = 16-18 * 26 inches 2 X = 20-22 * 27 inches 3 X = 24-26 * 28 inches 4 X = 28-30 * 30 inches 5 X = 32-34 * 31 inches 36 Inch Kimono Robe (available in sizes XS/S, M/L, and XL/XXL) XS/S = 4-8 23 inches Medium/Large = 10-14 25 inches XL/XXL = 16-20 30 inches * feedback from customers indicates the X (plus) size wrap robes tend to run a bit smaller than expected, so please keep this in mind when selecting your size. Please use the following table for sizing assistance with the zip-front robes.  Because these robes do not have a true underarm seam, the chest measurement is taken about 3 inches above the empire waist.   Robe Style Approximate Ladies` Size (as suggested by Canyon Group) Approximate Chest Measurement (measured from side seam across to side seam) 48-Inch Zip-Front Robe  (available in sizes small - 3x)   Small = 6-8 22 inches Medium = 10-12 23 inches Large = 14 24 inches XL = 16 25 inches 1 X = 16-18 26 inches 2 X = 20-22 27 inches 3 X = 24-26 29 inches The length stated above is the average length for that style of robe, and the actual length will vary by size.  Based on the size you purchase and your height, your wrap or zip-front robe should hit from below the knee to mid calf, and your kimono robe should hit from mid to lower thigh.  Because each robe is individually made by the seamstresses at Canyon Group, the actual measurements of your robe and placement of the tufted designs may vary slightly.  If you are debating between two sizes, we suggest selecting the larger size.  We find that most people prefer a roomy fit instead of a snug fit.  Although the colors appear true on our computer, minor variations may occur based on your computer settings.  Differences in yarn dye lots may also result in minor color variations. SIZING FOR MEN: Ever since Brad Pitt wore the lilac Coffee Talk robe in the movie "Fight Club," men have wanted this robe!  For a man, Canyon Group suggests purchasing one size larger than the size he normally wears in a casual shirt (for example, if he wears a size large shirt, then purchase an XL robe). Canyon Group Chenille Care Instructions: All Canyon Group chenille products are made entirely in the United States! Canyon Group makes their own chenille in Dalton, Georgia, the birthplace of the chenille industry.  They use a 50% cotton/50% polyester blend for their chenille backing, with 100% cotton yarn for the tufting.  Even the raw materials used to make the chenille are manufactured in the United States, predominantly in Georgia and North Carolina. Most Canyon Group chenille robes are pre-washed at Canyon Group prior to shipment.  This helps remove the dark markings on the inside of each robe, which identify the location of the tufted designs.  It also helps fluff the yarn used to tuft the designs.  On lighter colored robes, you may still see small, dark dots on the inside of your robe, along the edges of the tufted designs.  These markings will come out when your robe is laundered.  Because each chenille robe is marked by hand, placement of the tufted designs may vary, resulting in no two robes being exactly alike!  There may also be slight variations in the yarn colors used for the tufted designs, due to differences in dye lots and availability, but the overall look of the design will not be affected. Canyon Group recommends washing your robe inside out, on the delicate cycle, in cold water.  Then, immediately fluff in the dryer on the lowest heat setting.  You should expect your robe to shed some lint during the first few washings.  This will decrease with subsequent washings. You may choose to brush your robe with a stiff-bristled brush to fluff the yarn and remove any lint that may cling to your robe when removed from the dryer.  To further fluff your robe, you may also choose to spritz your dry robe lightly with 1/4 strength fabric softener, then toss in the dryer for 10-15 minutes.
