[Request] Looking for updated rec's: Men's waffle robes

I'm trying to replace a L.L. Bean waffle robe that they don't don't make any more. There's a post in this thread from three years ago on the topic, but most of the products in it are no longer sold. It doesn't seem like men's waffle robes are big sellers.

So far I've bought and returned waffle robes from Nordstrom, Parachute, and Seyante. The first was very poor quality. The other two, billed as "unisex" and "men's," respectively, were quite obviously cut for women.

I could use some help!

Onsen 10000% worth it

Thanks! I see that they are unisex. Question about that. My problem with the robes from Parachute and Seyante was that they had belt loops well above my waist, so they belted high across my stomach. Does Onsen avoid this?

Sorry for the delay. I'm 6' tall and I got a large and the belt is perfectly at my waist/hips. I've never noticed any discomfort with where the belt hits.

Fantastic! Thanks for that feedback. I will check them out.

Four Season’s robes are excellent. They sell them, they are not cheap but very BIFL. I’d call it a cross between a waffle and a plush robe.
