And don’t forget ‘smoking jackets’ I bought one as a BOGO with a suit in Hong Kong back in 1960 and I still have it in my closet and still have never worn it.
I think its kind of an upper-class modesty type of thing. It just wouldn’t do to have the servants see their betters walking around before bed in their “night clothes” hence covering up with a robe. (Plus I would think back in the days before central heating, it would’ve kept you warm)

I have a nice warm flannel bathrobe that feels good over my underwear when I’m at home in the winter. In the summer, not so much.

Ruben needs to put together a group of his “superheroes”. It worked for the Avengers and The Justice League. I’m looking forward to it Ruben.
