School me on smoking jackets

I actually have a few of them. I have one from the 50s waist length (brocade, real wool fleece lined similar to the one in the picture above)) one from the 60s waist length (looks like something from Sgt. Peppers album) one from the 70-80s full length (silk) and one a bit newer...cotton full length, fake fleece lined. I'll try and get some pics up. The full length silk is great in the summer...especially with nothing on underneath. Feels great on the skin. The 50s is great for outside, cool weather. It is rather gaudy. The 60s one is CRAZY. I'm not sure if it has palm leaf pattern on it, or pot leaf pattern on it. It also has dangly tassles on the button holes. I never wear it..just a great conversation piece.

I do want a black or brown velvet one to complete my "set".

Wife's sister is a fashion designer...both asian. So they have an "eye" for these types of things.
