Can anyone recommend a good brand of towels and washcloths?

[Nay]

I admit that I use towels and washcloths until they fall apart (years). Now is the time to replace what I have. Last year I bought what I thought were some decent washcloths from a decent department store -- they have not held up at all. I don't want to waste money on a brand that's going to fall apart.

Anyone have a recommendation?

1. The ones I bought from LL Bean have lasted

The ones from JC Pennys fell apart -- but this was several years ago.

[Nay]

3. Thank you for replying. I'll check out their catalog!

11. Agreed!

Our L. L. Bean bath towels, washcloths, hand towels and bath mats are now officially 10 years old. Not a stray thread in any of them!

2. I've been buying Royal Velvet towels and washcloths over many years.

They hold up extremely well and last for decades, depending on use.

I know you can buy cheaper towels but these are well made.

[Nay]

4. Are they available in certain stores or do you buy them online?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. I just was looking at Google, and you can buy them online.

I bought the last ones in a store, but it was years ago and I don't remember which one! Good grief.

If I wanted any now, I'd probably go online with a good guarantee, just in case.

6. Whatever Costco is selling.

They carry quality merchandise and their return policy is great. Even after use.

7. I just got a towel from bed bath and beyond. He is great. I've washed it a few times

and it retains its fluffyness.

8. We like Fieldcrest. They last and last

9. I've always had luck with Penney's white goods

12. So have I.

Of all the towels I've bought during the last 13 years, the ones I got for $5 each at Penney's are still in great shape. Can't say that about the others (Lands End, mostly).

[Nay]

10. Thank you, everyone, for your recommendations. I have several places to go to

check out these towels and I appreciate the input!
