towels The inscrutable Mystery

 

"perfect for daily use" as opposed to, making movies?

I don't know what a GSM is but I've heard, more gsm is better.
so the richer-than-god might buy 900gsm and leave the above for the help.
Well, I have no pool, the Tree sits in it, and I don't own anyone's services.
But GSM towels with high numbers take forever to dry. Fine!


OK, TBA  (There's this whole towel cult)
I personally (in my youth) liked the towels on sale at JC Penney, and women throughout the years would borrow, steal or trade my choices for hole-y thin POS towels they picked up at (what) garage sales?
A guy took great pride in his floor-to-ceiling linen closet he had full of the whitest towels in Vegas/NYC...
I'm, uh, still looking.
Are there "irregular" towels?
Are there red and Blue? (I dislike the pale pastels they're showing me)
Made by egyptian or Turkish virgins yada bla whatever.

Too large, they get caught on stuff...IDK.

Too expensive, you can never get over the remorse, the guilt and shame,
of them dying due to stains (after getting caught on stuff)

WHAT (ahem) what was the name of the ones you liked?


I despair finding my towel on Amazon. The blurbs are fantastic, 
but the reviews so disappointed.

It's time I shed the clubby lingo and the snobbery, bought cotton/poly (I think, IDK)
"Tommy Hilfiger" or some similarly spelled name...
anyway he sells an absolutely beautiful Chinese-Red towel, but that's all it's got going for it, the color. The price is way over the stated quality.
People seemed generally positive...
OK the "pale pastel" wins out, unfortunately. 
I don't wrap myself in towels, So I wouldn't care if they look unobtrusive, like lentil soup, but the amazon critics seem so happy.
One really confusing review loves the towel, hates the price.
Fucket.

Does "1000 Gram" equal "GSM"?
Anyway, nice towel-porn picture


Wait, I got this:
63x31=1953sq-in
1953sq-in is 1.259997 square meters


792, or "800 GSM" in sales-speak,
 assuming "1000 gram" is for the entire towel.

Except on Sundays and after 'C'



Historically I only need pillows and towels when they are too decrepit to hold themselves together, and fall apart, only with towels they can live as undead for a couple more years....


The box doesn't speak english well but it's Magnetic!

My old unpretentious towel was no rag, even compared side-to-side with the prissy new one.
