Good stuff, but misleading indication of size

The bathrobe came today via mail and I immediately pulled him over once. Normally I wear XL or XXL, depending on arm length. This robe I have a precaution ordered in 5XL and it should not be much smaller! So he just fits very well and lets me sufficient freedom of movement. Therefore, I can only advise to order it in doubt at least two sizes larger, more three numbers larger than the usual clothing size.
The robe itself feels very soft and comfortable, but is heavy and thick. I like that better than a thin coat of fleece or similar breathable material.

Supplement 14:08 .:
After the first wash, he has unfortunately shrunk by about two numbers (extra wash only at 30 ° and hung out to dry on a hanger). Now the arms are too short and it extends only to the knees. After the next washing, I'm going to draw neat, maybe I can save what.

Addendum 2:
What I now have noticed, after I wanted to use the bags again ... the pockets are not as far forward as attached in some other robes, that they are directly in jacket closed over each other, but they are so highly appropriate that the Belt it closes, so to speak. Had the bags attached approximately 10cm deep, the belt would lie about it, and the bags were easily available.

Supplement January 2013:
After washing again, nothing on the size more has changed. Despite gentle wash, ironing and drying in-form-drag it is smaller than before the first wash. He is now so a little short in the back and he stressed also a bissl, but it's bearable. Only I already know that it will break sooner or later, just like its predecessor. However, the wearing comfort is very high. He is warm, soft and also sucks the moisture quickly. Even a day at Tropical Islands he has survived without complaint.
