The robe or bathrobe is called a bathrobe.
The Greek word bírros came to classical Arabic as burnūs , which in turn led to the Hispanic Arabic barnús or burnús . In this term we find the closest etymological antecedent of bathrobe , a concept in our language that can refer to different products linked to clothing and the textile sector.
The first meaning of the notion mentioned by the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ) in its dictionary refers to a bathrobe made of terry cloth . The bathrobe, in this sense, is a garment open at the front that is used when getting out of the shower.
Using the bathrobe
When a person comes out of the shower, well, they can put on the bathrobe to cover their body. In this way, before dressing, she manages to stay warm and avoid nudity.
The bathrobe is not only used at home. In certain contexts that require being naked or scantily clad (such as a sauna or swimming pool ), the bathrobe may be worn for modesty reasons.
The RAE definition indicates that the bathrobe is made with terry cloth. However, it is possible to find gowns made of other materials. Fibers capable of absorbing water and perspiration are usually chosen, although for reasons of aesthetics or style there are also more alternatives.
Typically, a bathrobe is made from terry cloth.
A type of cape
Another meaning of bathrobe is related to a garment similar to a cape , a hood or a cloak , characterized by having a hood (that is, with a head covering that can be left attached to the sword when not in use). This bathrobe is usually used by the Berbers (inhabitants of North Africa, a region that includes countries such as Tunisia , Morocco , Egypt and Algeria , among others),
Originally, the bathrobe was a cape made of wool that shepherds wore at night to protect themselves from the cold. This garment, in addition to the hood, had sleeves and could be closed.
Over time , layers made with other materials began to be called bathrobes. Today a bathrobe of this type can be made from different materials and can be used by both men and women.
Bathrobe as fabric
A fabric that is produced with strong and twisted yarn is also referred to as a bathrobe. It should be remembered that a fabric is a fabric that is made with multiple threads that intersect regularly and alternately.
In the case of the bathrobe, as we already indicated, it is made with worsted (the longest strands of wool fleece). This fabric is usually made without first going through a dyeing process.
