Bath Robes

RJ, from time to time, will reference wearing bath robes, which a lot of the characters seemed to do quite often throughout the series; a looong time ago, we had a thread over at the BCA board about all the different Hawaiian shirts that were had in camp, so here's a thread for all the bath robes that were had.
And I'm just doing the main characters for starters, if anyone else wants to do the other recurring characters, go ahead.
Hawkeye, of course, had a floor-length, dark red robe, that apparently was issued to him, as one of the pockets is embroidered with "U.S.M.D.", though I think there were at least two different occasions where he's clearly wearing a civilian robe (though still red) instead.
Trapper had a couple, one was a dark-colored kimono that B.J. also wore later on, while the other was his signature yellow terry cloth robe.
Henry went through a few: one appeared to be a blue and yellow (I think) flannel robe he wore early on, but he also had a striped (which I think was brown and red) kimono which Leslie Scorch also had a matching one; afterwards, his robe was white with thin gray stripes, which Frank appeared to own after his death.
I've really only seen Margaret wear one actual bath robe, and hers was only occasionally, but as I recall, it was somewhere between royal blue and navy blue... other than that, she had a number of kimonos and other kinds of lingerie that Frank showered her with.
Frank, as I said, wore Henry's white robe with the thin gray stripes later on, but I remember in the earlier episodes, his was a red plaid robe.
Radar had his grease-stained blue and white striped robe.
B.J. went through two blue ones, one was a lighter blue that appeared to be terry cloth, while the other was a darker blue (though REALLY faded by the end of the series) and was textured... and, as mentioned earlier, that dark, oriental-patterned kimono previously worn by Trapper.
Potter had a few as well. He first would wear a khaki colored robe that was textured like B.J.'s dark blue robe, but he also had a more familiar faded red and white striped robe. Then, for a short period of time, he wore a magenta-colored robe.
I remember Klinger frequently wore a pink colored house coat, but I can't recall him ever wearing something of an actual bath robe with among all the wardobe he had.
Mulcahy had a brown checkered robe.
Charles had a couple, one that I really liked had a gradient design that went from sky blue down to royal blue, I can't quite remember what his other looked like, but I think it was dark colored (brown, dark red, something like that) and striped.
Then of course all patients on Post-Op were given robes like Hawkeye wore, only theirs were navy instead of red.
