I was pleasantly surprised by these towels - they are bigger than I was expecting them to be (a lot of 100% organic cotton towels seem to be on the smaller size, I assume to save on costs?), they are incredibly soft, and the build quality seems top notch.  I've only run them through the wash a couple times so far, but all the material and stitching seem to be holding up perfectly.  I appreciate that the pattern on the ends of the towel are equally as soft and absorbent as the rest of the towel.
