In the 2023 comedy horror film Renfield, you can spot a few Baturina Homewear robes. You’ll see two Renfield dressing gowns: a blood red one and cozy camel brown robe.
The movie focuses on a Draculas sidekick Renfield and puts a new spin on this character:
“Renfield, the tortured aide to his narcissistic boss, Dracula, is forced to procure his master’s prey and do his every bidding. However, after centuries of servitude, he’s ready to see if there’s a life outside the shadow of the Prince of Darkness” (via Google)
Let’s take a look at Renfield. What is this character about?
“He serves as a mirror to Dracula: a human who devours subservient, dispensable creatures for his gain. As such, Renfield worships Dracula, who promised Renfield immortality as long as Renfield obeyed his commands.” (via Collider)
Those familiar with the 1992 Dracula movie might have a rather unpleasant memory of this character, however Nicholas Hoult as Renfield is a much more entertaining watch. This brings us to an important question: What dressing gown does the Prince of Darkness wear, and which robe sports his sidekick?
Dracula's striking loungewear look
Nicolas Cage as Conté Dracula dons a bright red robe with black contrast details, very fitting for his bloodthirsty theme. Underneath he’s wearing a black outfit, presumably a comfy pair of cotton pajamas. The robe is made from jacquard cotton with a woven in ornament. Its black satin details on lapels, cuffs and pockets are fully edged with red cord piping.
Nicolas Cage is an American actor, producer, and director who was born on January 7, 1964, in Long Beach, California. He is known for his diverse range of roles in films spanning multiple genres.

Despite some controversies in his personal life and financial difficulties, Cage remains a highly regarded and sought-after actor in Hollywood.
Renfield's cozy wool robe
It can’t get any more classy than a camel brown wool robe. For a simple, but understated and elegant look you can’t do any wrong with this wool dressing gown. It’s made from a heavy wool flannel in a luxurious camel brown hue and features contrast cord piping in navy and white. The lining is a rich navy blue satin. The plain striped cotton pajamas complete this very toned down, conversative but timelessly elegant nocturnal attire.
Nicholas Hoult is an English actor who was born on December 7, 1989, in Wokingham, Berkshire, England. He began acting at a young age and made his screen debut in the 1996 film “Intimate Relations”.

In addition to acting, Hoult is involved in various charitable organizations and has been recognized for his philanthropic work. He is known for his talent, versatility, and dedication to his craft, and continues to be a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.
In conclusion the clever loungewear choices perfectly reflect both characters, Dracula wears a bold statement robe and Renfield sports a toned-down sleepwear style.
