I agree 110%. I did purchase the custom RL towels years ago (4x bath towels) and they have been great. The Lacoste ones are not up to par (at least compared to RL Towels), in fact the lacoste towels are very standard and no where near the absorbency of RL towels.
With that said, I have 4 sets I will be returning:
1x set of Aqua (Beach Glass) colour (Bath towel and hand towel)
1x set of Dark Grey (Cliff) colour (Bath towel and hand towel)
1x set of Light Grey (Micro Chip) colour (Bath towel and hand towel)
1x set of Blue (Surf Blue) colour (Bath towel and hand towel)
Anyone want them at cost can PM me before I return them this week
