Have you tried the Danase PHAT Towel? All of the guys who QD alot should check them out. It has to be the most plush MF on the market at least that I have found.

Looks like the only difference is the color!

They both are made in Korea. But looking exactly the same, I'll go with the $4.50 towel, instead of the $5.95.

Well that kinda just lost a bunch of sales. China MF's are not of the same quality of Korea. So beyond costing $1.50 more, its of lesser quality.

It would be like those north face jackets. You can buy a real one, which uses better quality material for $150, or you can buy a fake one, looks exactly the same, uses less quality material for $40 on ebay.

The generalization that Korean made towels are of higher quality than those made in China is pure BS. I own a lot of MF, and haven't found that to be true at all.

As far as cost, the SM Awesome costs $44.95 for 12, PakShak UltraPlush is $48 for 12. SM shipping is also cheaper and faster.

TX to AR is gonna be cheaper and faster than HI to AR. The country quality difference opinion is shared by many.

I'm curious to see what people think of the MF that Adam's Polishes offers. I have a handful of them and think they're probably the softest, plushest towel I own. Nobody seems to have any though.
