UPDATE: The freakin' towels I was looking at have been discontinued. I am working w/ other distributors, but until I get that ironed out, I'm holding off on this.
Thanks to the volunteers, hopefully soon!

Here's the deal, I hate to pay retail for anything. In addition, the shop towels at Pep Boys are too thin, and the towels through Zymol are too freakin' expensive. SO, what am I to do?
Well, I called a top-brand towel company and talked with some specialists, they've sent me a sample of a 100% cotton terry-cloth towel that should be wash-n-wax friendly, good pile, and more cost-effective than going to Bed Bath & Beyond and paying retail for hand-towels.
So, how well does it work? If you'll give me your honest comments, I'll ship you a towel to evaluate, and then, if the concensus is that it's good, I'll ship you a set when I place the order.
You must be willing to provide an honest evaluation in a timely manner if you wish to participate. Limited number only. PM me with your name and address and eMail if interested. I'll close this thread when I have enough volunteers.
MORE INFO based on questions received:
Honestly, I don't know how much it will run, I'll see if there's interest before I figure out how much to buy and how much it will cost me to buy. It's 100% cotton. No surging around the edges, nor does it have that embroidered line that runs along about 3 inches from the bottom of most towels. It's 100% terry. I won't even mess with it unless it's comparable, price-wise and quality-wise to the Fieldcrest outlet prices.
I actually just got the roll, and I'm washing it up to "poof it up" and see how it compares to the rest. The Fieldcrest guy said it should work great for our purposes, but I'll let the enthusiasts make that call.
Thanks.
