Label:  “Onkaparinga” on the neck loop.  Onkaparinga is an Australian wool factory founded in 1869.  Glenburnie Gowns Pure Wool is found on the interior opening - note that the wool is somewhat “itchy”, so the robe should be worn over pyjamas.  Glenburnie is recognized as a company under the Onkaparinga umbrella.
