Towels
Judged on weight, fibre and whether the maker will tell you either. Grams per square metre is the one number that predicts how a towel feels and how long it takes to dry, and heavier is not better: a 700gsm towel in a flat with one radiator is a damp towel. Priced as bath towels throughout, because every range here sells four sizes at four prices.
- How to read a towelFour words on a towel label tell you almost everything: the weight, the fibre, the twist and the size being quoted. Three of them are usually missing.
