Canyon Group Sizing Assistance and Care Instructions

Canyon Group Robe Sizing Information: Canyon Group® offers 3 styles of chenille bathrobes, the 48-inch traditional wrap robe, the 56-inch fitted robe, and the 39-inch kimono wrap robe.  The traditional and kimono wrap robes are sized generously and for comfort.  Because the 56-inch fitted robe offers a more tailored fit, this style runs truer to size, even a bit smaller than expected. 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.

The length stated above is the average length of that style of robe, based on the size medium.  The actual length of the size you purchase will vary by approximately 1/2 inch per size increment (i.e., the small will be 1/2 inch shorter than stated, the large will be 1/2 inch longer than stated, the XL will be 1 inch longer than stated, and so on). Because each robe is individually made by the seamstresses at Canyon Group, the actual measurement of your robe 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. 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.
