On 6/25/15 I wrote a review on my first purchase of these towels and now I'm back for more. I have searched Macy's, Sears, JC Penny, Costco, Numerous brands in TJ Max and Ross and nothing compares to the weight, thickness, soft feel and now I can say durability to these towels. I have not had problems with shrinkage, and I have washed them ( well my wife has) twice a week since June. Every time we use them we kept saying we wanted to get some more. We have now purchased two more sets. Our linen closet will be full of these towels soon. 

Pros: Thick, heavey, durable, soft and they are great hot out of the dryer. I get lots of browney points when I bring my wife a fresh hot towel after her shower. 
Cons: The only con is that they are so thick they take up twice the closet space as our second favorite towels.
