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.
