Excel Detail wash mitts, same as the eurow?

[RedlineIRL]

I was looking at picking up some new lambswool wash mitts, and came across the ones that Excel Detail sells.

Mitts

Now by looking at the images listed on their site, these look almost exaclty the same as the eurow mitts sold in stores right down to the elastic cuff. The eurows are ok, but I'd like to find something of better quality. So I don't want to make the mistake of ordering the same mitts that I could buy locally, without having to pay shipping. Has anyone tried the Excel Detail mitts, and could tell me if they are the same?


I've also been looking at the mitt Griot's sells. For those that have used it, how does it compare to others out there? I like the fact that it's slightly larger, and looks a lot more plush.

I'm looking to buy some really nice mitts, not el cheapo quality. Any input on opinions would be greatly appreciated.

They are Eurow mitts but you won't find them as nice as Patrick has. I have used his Med plush ones for a while now and I'm very happy with them. I also have a heavy wash mitt and it is very very plush. You can find some nice ones at the store but you have to sit there and pick through all of them. If you have time go for it, but you are guaranteed to get a soft plush mitt from excel.

I just looked at the price of the Groits mitt do yourself and your wallet a favor pm Pat and see if his Heavy mitts are in. He doesn't list them as "in stock" as they go out of stock fast (hard to keep them stock) but if you ask he'll let you know.

I've been comparing them to the Turtle Wax mitts at Big Lots as well. The cuff is the same. The loop to hand the mitt is the same. The cuff is the same. I don't really know how to scientifically compare the actual wool, but they feel and behave the same.
Just look through, and find a plush one. They are easy to differentiate from the thinner ones. The thick ones feel like they are still on the sheep!

Patrick's med mitts @ 3 for $15 are a bargin IMO, compared to any mitt.

You can't beat the price Patrick has on his mitts. Quality is top notch as well.

The Griot's mitt is a different type of wool, "more fluffy" and less like "fur" or "hair", if that makes any sense Some people really like 'em, but I worry about [stuff] getting trapped in the nap and not coming out in the rinse. Note that my fears might be *completely* unfounded

Mine is just sitting here waiting for me to use it...and it's *been* sitting here unused for a long, long time.

[Hey, Moe!]

Accumulator--If you haven't used it, can't you send it back? ; )

Hey, Moe- Heh heh, I think I'll stay on their mailing list this time They're even sending me catalogs again!

Go to walmart if you want to get it locally. They have a nice lambswool mitt for $5 something.
