Smoking jacket? Date?

[greatglenvintage]

I found what I think is a men'a smoking jacket. The tag reads Robes by Rabhor. I've tried to do some research but can't seem nail down my specific label with a date. It feels like silk, and the seams are French. It looks like most of the sewing is machine done. Thanks!

I've had Rabhor labels before but not with this particular label, great label it is! That tab closure should be a good clue for dating it as it's not something one often sees in these old dressing gowns. It could be a rayon as well. I would say 40s or early 50s. Let's see what others think.

Thanks! There's not really anywhere I can cut to do a burn test, but I think it could be rayon as well. All the Rabhor Etsy listings I found with a 40s date had a different label.

These are great robes. I have one in the shop. It's late 1940s. It was a wedding present from bride to groom and they married then. : )
