Zaino MF towel was released

I've wondered the same thing. Was the first thing that came to mind when an "American made" MF towel was mentioned.
I know the DF and Autopia towels are edged so there is a clear difference, but I'm just guessing that someone in the industry could make that modification.

They are quite different towels in feel, appearance, and finish. They both have very nice appearance in wax removal and quick detailing duties, but the Zaino towel is definitely much thicker/plusher and does not suffer from matting and stiffness after multiple washings like the DF towels typically do.

To which iteration of DF towels are you referring?

How many places are actualy manufacturing MF towels? By the reading of this and other posts on various forums it would seem to be believed that just about everyone who sells MF towels and adds a line....."These are our best towels created to our high standards.................." is also the actual manufacturer, which is nonsense.
Same goes for polishes, cleaners and waxes. Just because a company sells it does not also mean they actually formulate the product. Only a handful of companies actually craft the products. Same goes with towel makers.
Last I was told the machinery used or needed to make microfiber is staggering cost wise. Autopia sells great quality microfiber towels but I highly doubt DavidB has a textile plant in his garage large enough to knit him those towels so what does he most likely do? He buys them, perhaps factory direct, just like everybody else that sells them.
Contact a manufacturer, tell them you want some samples of high quality microfiber and that you'll be buying it in large quantities, you might also be able to get a specific color, blend and weave an thus make it unique to you. Give it a cool name and you're in business.
Given the great reputation of the Zaino products I am positive the towel is equally great but I wouldn't go thinking Sal has the machinery needed to produce such towels.
As long as the quality is top notch, that's what is important. Not the fact that it is branded with a "Z" or any other logo out there. Cost is irrelevant where quality and consistency is more important. Crap MF's are a dime a dozen but good ones are rare.

You hit the nail right on the head.You can contact the manufacturer but he will give you his agent's number. These days agents rep the manufacuters. they quote delivery date (when they can get the goods)price duty and a landed price,you get a package deal(also a letter of credit)
