Grammar Question--Why Robes

[Lee Storm (God Is The Healing Force)]

Okay, this has really been nagging at me and I just don't have an answer.

Why in the books is a robe referred to as "robes?"  As in "dress robes"
rather than "dress robe?"

Hopefully someone can give me a good explanation that makes sense.

Smile,

Walk beside me, and be my friend.
