Dylan, thanks for the info. I do understand this concept 100%. One of my job requirements is to work with and source factories from China, Taiwan, and Korea. As it seems to be with all product lines, there are a few factories actually producing the product while the rest just private label and resell. Its hard for people to understand sometimes that a lot of people are getting product from the same factory.

I understand that TRC most likely gets their towels from the same manufacturer as possibly Adams or Zaino, or a subsidiary of that factory as everybody is partnered/knows everybody in the far east, but during my testing the 3 towels from TRC scratched the clear, while my Adams towels and my Zaino towels did not. I dont know if it was due to washing, even though they are washed the exact same way, or something else.
