These towels are super soft, nice & thick and really absorbent. I was surprised and pleased by the quality of them. I bought the yellow ones. The color is true to images, too. I will buy more of these towels because they are better than I expected and I really like them. Like all cotton towels, they do leave a lot of lint behind in the first few washings & dryings. In my experience, that's normal & will lessen over time. These towels are better than anything I've ever bought in local stores, none of which sell this brand in my area. It's my first experience with Tommy Bahama towels. The bath towels are nice & large, too. The hand towels may be a little larger than the others I have, so that's okay as well. The wash cloths are basically standard size. I didn't notice any shrinkage when I washed & dried them. I'd give these an A+.
