Based on others positive feedback, I ordered some MF towels from Tom at JT International (jtintern@hotmail.com). I ordered 25 towels Friday, they made the trip via USPS and arrived here on the opposite coast on Wednesday, very good.
I asked him to mix and match any colors he had, I got 5 yellow, 5 green, 5 blue, and 10 light green. Right out of the bag, they felt like good towels (they are 70/30). Although all colors look identical (except for the color of course) and have the same tags, I could have sworn they felt a little different (in order from plush to plushest):
Yellow
Blue/Green
Light Green (luckily I got 10 of these).
However, after running them through the washer on the hand wash cycle with 2 rinses with warm water, and then through the low cycle in the dryer, I can`t feel as much if any difference between the colors.
I compared them to the other MF towels I have:
1 cheapo from Pep Boys or something - no comparison the new ones are MUCH better.
Several Viper 80/20 MF from CMA - new ones are much plusher.
Several Miracle Towels 70/30 from CMA - very very close, the CMA may have a slight plushness edge. However, I`ve had a linting problem with the CMA MF. They were bought around last September or so and I understand there may have been a slight quality problem back then. Also, although the CMA might feel a little plusher, the threads seem to be better packed on the new towels. I think that I saw the CMA has redesigned their towels and have a higher thread density, so maybe this isn`t really even a valid comparison any more.
In any case the new towels seem to be very high quality 70/30 Korean towels and the price (about 2 and a quarter each shipped) is really fantastic! :xyxthumbs
I ordered from Tom via e-mail but from what I`ve read here about him you can also purchase via EBay (not sure how the pricing would compare, search the archives for other posts about him for his EBay user name). I paid via PayPal but he also claims to take credit cards.
I will follow up after I get a chance to use these guys over the weekend.
