That's a bloody Bathrobe, made of towelling! Dressing gowns are much more refined!

A couple of my friends call them House Coats, it's something that's always annoyed me, I don't mind bath Robe, house coat sounds weird though (even though technically speaking that's exactly what it is)

Housecoat sounds posh. Like a smoking jacket.

I call it a dressing gown.

I bet the English don't have an equivalent for "dreich" even though they definitely need that word
