IHG-066 - Black/Orange Large Imabari Towel

[Giles]

We have 40 small and 30 large in this weeks shipment, with more to follow as necessary….If that's not enough for this week, I'll be down the pub with the crew celebrating....

Touch and go I reckon…I'd start planning for a hangover just in case. [emoji1]

So, I have a few questions:

o Are these towels unsanforized?
o How much shrinkage should we expect with a luke warm hand wash, and air dry?
o Do they fade?
o I'm 175cm tall, and weight 75kg… Should I get small or large? (If it helps any, my Martha Stewart towels are mediums...)
o How long should I wait before washing (You know, so the creases will set in nicely)?

[Giles]

I am not sure what the answer is to any of those questions is I am afraid.  But I do know that if you order one, it will probably have "I am a complete tosser" stencilled onto it…

[UnTucked]

Maybe I should just order a small… To wrap my 3rd degree burns, lmao!

[UnTucked]

*I just checked "Urban Dictionary" to see what a tosser is…..

The burns are from your hurtful words, NOT from incessant "tossing", lol

[Giles]

Ha…...It's a sort of term of endearment...

[Giles]

These will arrive today…..

Was only thinking I needed some new towels, glad I looked in now.

That came unexprected early. I reconed with the usual 17:00 brit time and now I'm trapped with the workstation pile of junk in my office, that is nerfed back into the 80s by our IT guys, so I could not proceed from my basket to paying.

Thank god I didn't forget my smartphone at home.

Got 2! You know, you have to wash you towel from time to time and need a replacement or, god forbid, the wife want's one too.

I thought we had enough to release when they were ready rather than waiting until 16:00 our time.  I usually only release stuff at 16:00 if I'm worried that they will sell out fast and I want to give everyone a fair chance….

They arrived today. First (and most likely only) fit pic of this threat.

How do you get these things to stop shedding?  There was a bit of shedding out of the box and now even more after a wash.

Also, the sticker on the towel recommended to wash it at 40deg on the delicate cycle.  Will washing them more aggressively somehow damage them?

@DrPat I asked the question when I was in Japan, they were sort of mystified.  After me explaining a number of times, they suggested just wash more, the lint will stop shedding at some point.  They think a hotter wash would be OK.

Restocked…..

Thanks for looking into this.

I washed the towel 5 times.  There is still some shedding but the amount has significantly decreased.  Hopefully it will be gone after a few more washed.
