I got mine at WalMart (of all places)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even if they do not have the name brands you are after, they will have 100% US made cotton that you want for Zaino (or any other wax/polish for that matter). And the best news, they are CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!

and i quote from http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/mercha...S&Store_Code=Z:

Cannon & Fieldcrest make a lower quality version of their towels for K-Mart, Walmart and other big discount chains. These towels say 100% Cotton but that is not, totally true. The nap is 100% cotton but the backing material has polyester blend in it. So if you press a little to hard on the towel you can get some fine scratches or swirls. The point I'm trying to make is if a Cannon or Fieldcrest towel is selling in a discount store for $6.00 or less (approximately) it is not the good stuff. I buy all my Cannon & Fieldcrest towels in the Bath & Linen shops in the bigger stores in the mall. I pay anywhere from $10 to $20 per towel.

I have a few old Fieldcrest Charisma Select towels that are awesome but they are out of business. Many cotton terry towels claim to be 100% cotton and are not.

Do yourself a favor and get yourself some decent microfiber towels.

I'm looking specifically for these two brands - that means no microfiber or chamois or absorbers. If they're still in business and just have newer towels, that would help, but I cannot accept anything lower than the best, I'm talking 100% Egyptian Terry-Style Cotton all around.

Anyway, they don't have them at Bed, Bath & Beyond either (at least the one I went to). I'll try The Great Indoors tomorrow.

P.S. A 'quality' towel will cost roughly between $10-20, so I won't be spending less. I'm sorry, but last time I did, I scratched the entire trunklid drying it...
