I recently professed my love for my new bathrobe. I think, like most things in my life, it's not necessarily this particular bathrobe that I have fallen in love, but the general concept of wearing one piece of comfortable piece of clothing all day that'll keep me warm (no need to wear comfortable pants and a sweatshirt - just bathrobe it!).

In any case, I think my Gap bathrobe is pretty nice - it's made of cotton, isn't overly heavy but still manages to keep me warm. It also has a hood which I can use to keep my head warm. The two pockets provide ample storage for my late-night Wendeez runs (although I am technically on Wendeez ban) when I need to quickly store my wallet, my iPod and my cell phone.

However, there is one glaring problem with this bathrobe:

If you notice, when I tie the bathrobe around my waist, the top part is not fastened very well. That means that precious body heat is leaving, and the whole purpose of the bathrobe is wasted. I always found myself (after nearly four weeks of continual wearing) rewrapping the bathrobe every few minutes - the ideal bathrobe should cover everything up to my neck.

$1.20 from Wal-Mart and a short sewing job later, and we now have:

A button placed between the shoulder and left chest allows the bathrobe to be clasped, and now I have an awesome bathrobe.

Sweet.
