Brighton factually.....
Noticing more and more, idiots wearing the surf changing robe with short sleeves for ease in changing being worn as fashion statement.
Last month during kids football I noticed several parents wearing them in the cold not done up, and shivering in the cold wind.....
Buy a feckin decent coat, prats, more people today out and about in them, just crazy.

They were designed to change on a beach and get your body warm, not show off, look at me I am a chav, looking cool in a modestly priced garment.
Winds me up...

Maybe there are more important things to worry about, but come on, tell me it's not just me.

Take the arms off so they are cheaper to make and charge the mugs more.

Sort of the opposite of a chav as it's the very comfortable middle class that are loving them as far as I can tell. The types that have a cleaner and regular Ocado deliveries. DryRobe does market itself as something to keep you dry on the dog walk or while watching outdoor activities as well as a changing robe. That tied in with the huge surge in popularity in sea swimming since the first lockdown started means they are very popular over here in Hove.

*EDIT*

As an addition the first person I saw wearing one who wasn't on the beach was at the Amex for an Albion match 2 seasons ago. It was pouring with rain and he was wearing a long sleeved DryRobe and looking very pleased with himself.

:needpics:

A visual representation would help, either gleaned from the internet or surreptitiously taken of the parents to whom you refer.

I'm sure we are all quite ready and prepared to get as pi**ed off as you are, but you need to help us out a bit more first.

Folk been wearing these at Cross country and other running events for a couple of years.

Agree, usually well heeled middle class families using them and they all seem to have one.

West is BEST
I can’t say what other people choose to wear bothers me that much. Living at one of Europe’s best regarded kite-surfing spots I’ve only ever seen these being worn by middle aged men who drive VW transit vans and take themselves very seriously. And wrinkly old ladies who have taken to swimming in the sea whatever the weather.

Had to Google it. Never heard of it.

Turns out it's what my neighbours wears when walking the dog. I just thought it was just a really hideous coat.

£150 apparently. Agreed. Can get a proper coat for that price.

You, me and just about everybody else I'd imagine. Looks about as classy as mums doing the school run in their PJs

Marks you out as a member of the all year round swimming in the sea cult. Strange bunch.

This. Normally worn on Hove Prom by wrinkly old middle class ladies, the type who'd chuck their grandkids into an ice bath "because it was good for them". Likes include freezing cold sewage and veganism.

Agree - personally I love an Acado delivery . M & S ready to cook lamb shanks are the best in the business - much nicer than even the Waitrose ones . But getting back to the topic , wearing anything other than a proper winter coat in the middle of a cold winter is madness and often a chav fashion .

The old Vegan joke has recently been re-purposed.

How do you know if someone is a cold water swimmer? Don't worry, They will tell you.

I love outdoor swimming but at this time of year it can do one. Half the people that do it tell you how great it is before complaining they can't feel anything in the tips of their toes or fingers after their recent swim.

Ah I am not alone, really wind me up....

Loved this bit
"Dryrobe Man wants you to know that he is the sort of outdoorsy person who has been surfing in Lahinch, and can afford to spend €171 on what is, after all, a towel with a hood"

There was a women today in Lancing yes Lancing in one, walking her dog with it not done up and she was walking backwards so the wind did not blow it open further...... Do the fecking thing up, I am not impressed it is cameo on the outside and hot pink inner lining....

The Hove phenomena has now reached Lancing, Hove's middle class housewives will have to soon look for the next stupid thing to wear...
How about wellington boots cut down and cut some holes in them.... oh hang on that's been done.
