Best Answer

There is a misconception that boys robes are shorter due to the 16th-19th century idea of "Breeching." Breeching occurs when a boy, who in his youth, was commonly and acceptably dressed in gowns, makes a transition into wearing pants, or 'breeches.' The reason boys robes are shorter, some hypothesize, is due to the fact that before boys could wear breeches they wore "short-coats", which were shorter gowns. However, attributing the process of breeching to robe lengths is erroneous. In reality, boys robes do not tend to be shorter than girls robes. The length of a robe, whether it is a bath robe, a silk robe, or a fleece robe, varies by the company making it and not by gender.
