Stan Herman robes

How do you find the quality? I have owned several over the many years he has been on QVC. Something usually goes wrong with them and I end up trashing them. They just don't stand the test of time. Mostly , he uses cheap zippers. I like a robe that zips up or buttons - not one you tie closed - and his zippers always break on me and I have to go buy a zipper & replace it or simply just toss the whole item. I don't like paying his price then having a sewing project in short time, and I'm not a fan of having to remove & replace zippers.

I bought one of his winter robes with the zipper from top to bottom. I loved it so much I gave my sister one for her birthday. She lived in it all winter long.

Admittedly, I had to have the zipper replaced, but not because of the quality. My dog chewed on it and it wouldn't work anymore.

His terry fabric has gotten very flimsy. I was desperte for a new zip front terry robe and had to buy one but it is NOT the quality of what I had. He is in Kohl's now so go figure!

I have found the quality nothing like it used to be. A lot of Stan's robes are poorly finished inside and threads hanging everywhere. I have ordered them from here but now can only find a really good selection in Century 21.

My last couple of purchases the zipper broke. I am sticking with Eileen West and Ralph Lauren robes for my future purchases.

I just purchased a short terry zip robe. I needed something to wear in the morning to run outside with my pup. Unfortunately, the robe is not at all the same quality as the robes I had purchased in the past from him. The material is very flimsy, almost see through. I kept it as I needed something asap but won't purchase anymore of his items. Too bad because I like him so much but can't justify spending almost $50 for something that looks like it cost $15 at the most.

I have one of his short-sleeve terry robes that is over 20 years old. I do not use it daily or even weekly now, but it is pretty much like new. I had bought it for my DD and she didn't want it anymore. I use it mostly now as a cover-up for dirty jobs or when I bathe the dog. It was good quality which we don't see anymore.

I have one of his old seersucker front zip robes and a terry front zip. I also had to replace the zippers in both. But after so many years of use, I’m okay with that. The seersucker robe still looks great.

Can't speak to his current robes, but the two I have are over 10 years old. Back then, zipper and fabric quality were excellent. They last so long because I only bring them out in January and February when the outside temps are freezing and our thermostat is set at 67.

I bought two maybe 15 years ago. All the buttons came off, every one of them. Gave up,, but I love Stan Herman. I don't sew, no patience and the ol' eyes are going.
