Best Wearable Blanket?

I'm a large man, 6'2'' 250lbs plus looking for a wearable blanket that's not open in the back like a stupid ass snuggie and goes all the way down to the feet and just in general oversized. I've been doing some research and for whatever reason it's been harder than I thought to find what I want. Most of the ones I've seen are either open in the back which completely defeats the purpose in my opinion; if you're sitting down on a leather couch which is always ice cold at first what's the first part of you body that touches it? YOUR BACK... Or they are too short and more resemble a bath robe. I want something that's basically just a giant ass wizard robe that is also doubles as a comfortable blanket.

Personally I would just get a large enough blanket that I can cocoon myself in. Blankets aren't meant to be worn like clothing anyways.

Yeah but then you have to worry about it staying tight on you and doing all the work of cocooning every time you get up to do something. If it's just a giant ass robe/blanket combo you can just wear it wherever you go. And then pair it with some big ass fluffy socks and you've got your feet covered

Well if I choose to use a blanket I become a plant and root myself into my chair or couch. But that's me. What you're looking for sounds like a onesie.

Check the sizing though.

Little expensive for my taste.. Would probably be great for camping though

Onesies are way too thin and are really more for general wearing. You'd probably still need a blanket on top of a onesie honestly.

Maybe, but then you don't need to worry about cold back. Plus you could wear the blanket over the onesie like a poncho too.

They make onesie's for adults that is so funny.

At 6'3 myself, finding big enough blankets is a pain in the ass. I typically use a half-unzipped sleeping bag in addition to a comforter so my feet hanging off the edge are enclosed.

Thread is filled with brusiers. Anywho, worst case scenario you could always knit yourself a blanket large enough to do the trick.

Most of the cloaks you would find online are fantasy cosplayer stuff and would be made from thin material, not warm.

You can get wool ponchos though. Those would be warm, problem is ponchos only go down to the knees.
