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

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!

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

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

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.

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

and it retains its fluffyness.

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).

check out these towels and I appreciate the input!
