Charcoal Egyptian Hooded Dressing Gown – 470GSM Terry Towelling
This dressing gown weighs approximately 1500g, which works out to 470GSM. 100% cotton terry towelling, hood, two front pockets, matching belt, three adult sizes, in charcoal.
Who buys this: A common "safe middle ground" pick when buying a gift for someone whose taste you don't know precisely. Charcoal reads as more considered than black, which can feel too stark as a gift, and more distinctive than grey, without risking a shade the recipient wouldn't choose themselves.
Black as a gift can feel too final. Grey can feel like the "didn't want to decide" option. Charcoal sits between the two: dark enough to read as a deliberate choice, without the starkness of true black.
Built to the same spec as the rest of the Egyptian Collection: 470GSM, roughly 300g heavier than our standard terry towelling range, noticeably thicker and warmer as a result. Three adult sizes mean the fit is chosen rather than assumed. The hood adds real practicality too, drying hair, extra warmth on cold mornings, not a decorative add-on.
Worth knowing before ordering: "charcoal" as a colour name covers a fairly wide range in textiles, from a warm dark grey through to something close to black. If exact shade matching matters, against existing towels or décor, a sample is worth requesting first.
Prefer navy or the base colourway? See Navy Blue or the Egyptian Collection Hooded Dressing Gown. Want the same weight without a hood? The Shawl Collar version uses identical fabric.

This is the one colour whose own draft included a separate Shoulder measurement and a lower S/M chest figure, 52cm against 57cm on the other colourways. Everything else lines up, worth a quick check on that one figure.



*Note: Sizes are correct at time of measuring, some batches may have a very slight difference in dimensions.
Care Instructions
-
Wash at 40°C or cooler with similar colours
-
Skip the fabric softener, it coats the cotton loops and cuts absorbency
-
No bleach
-
Tumble dry on low heat
-
Don't over-dry — it makes the towelling feel stiff

FAQs
How much does this dressing gown actually weigh?

Is charcoal closer to grey or closer to black?
Between the two, a dark warm grey rather than true black. Request a sample first if exact shade matters.

Weight and construction mainly. This is 470GSM with a hood and three sizes; the standard range is 400GSM, no hood, one size.
