@amberage@eldritch.cafe Is velour an option? My dad made himeself a thoroughly decadent robe out of velour, & I don't recall that it required any particular special care. Not quite as yummy plush as velvet, but very much in the same spirit. & according to wikipedia, it comes in a variety of fibers, both natural & synthetic. IIRC, that was the fabric favored in 1980s track suits, so seems like it would be a very everyday-wear kind of fabric. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velour
