So, my apologies to all those homemakers out there that have ever had to purchase towels. Never in my life have I dedicated so much research to so minor of a thing as the towels that sit in a bathroom. But having said that, I'm glad I purchased these.
Let's start with the fact that I am replacing decades old towels. A mix of US made, Chinese made and I think one other country. They run the gammot of thin to plush towels. Based on that, my inclination was to find something that matched them in look, feel and durability.
Why I chose Lane. The primary reason I chose Lane was, they had my color I wanted, and their poor reviews were a very small percentage of their reviews and those low reviews weren't the same horror stories from other vendors.
These towels are slightly more plush than they are thin. I would, say average. They are, soft not scratch. While after a, wash and two rounds in the, dryer they did produce copious amounts of lint, two towels I have owned and only washed the once produced almost as much per towel. So, the "shedding" it on par with better towels.
While I did not inspect the towels thoroughly before washing, I did not notice any glaring threads before, washing. After washing there, was one particular thread pull, but overall the fit and finish of these towels is, excellent. The piping, the, stitching, it's all really, really good.
The majority of these towels will never see use. This, set was overkill. But so far, the one towel I have at hand to use is working well. There is no shedding while drying, they dry my hands, and look good doing it.
These towels represent a passing of the guard for me. They are the first towels I have ever purchased for myself. Everything else I ever owned was given to me by my parents or siblings. As I said in the beginning, kudos to anyone who has had to go through the process of trying to find towels. There isn't just finding the right color, there are a bevy of various things that influence a good or bad purchase.
Not every towel will be perfect, and not every experience with one manufacturer will be good, but based on my experience so far, these Lane towels are an excellent brand worthy of your purchase. Not only do I feel that way, but I recently purchased linens based on my experience with these towels.
