- I like the looks of it, but it was not nearly as soft as I was hoping. Actually a little stiff, but didn't keep it's form very well to give support needed.

- I love the socks they are very comfortable and look good. I am using them for trail running so the dark color doesn't show the dirt. I ordered only one pair to see what these socks were like. I would definitely order additional socks however beware of the high price of shipping one pair of socks.

5 comments about Turkishtowels Bamboo Bathrobe Collection 65% Bamboo 35% Combed Egyptian Cotton Made in Turkey.
- My husband is really, really difficult to buy for or impress. He needed a new bathrobe, but I wanted to get him something a little more special than plain old terrycloth. I heard about using bamboo to make fabric and had thought that a fascinating idea. When I found this bathrobe I was thrilled. The reviews I had read were correct. The bathrobe is heavy and warm and thick. You can tell it's a nice bathrobe as soon as you pick it up out of the box. And my husband loves it. I've even heard him telling friends about his "bamboo bathrobe" and how great it is!
- This robe is an excellent value. My old cotton terry bathrobe needed replacing for quite a while---it was litearlly disintegrating. I'd looked around for something reasonably priced to replace it, and wasn't having much luck.
I bought some bamboo towels last year that I'm crazy about. The white bamboo blend is whiter than plain cotton, too, so they look really fresh and clean.
When I saw this robe on Amazon, I thought it might be "the one". I've had it for about 3 months, and I haven't been disappointed. It washes beautifully, and it's well-made. I was a little concerned about the "one size fits all", but I decided to take a chance. I'm 5'9", and it's mid-calf length on me. The size is generous, with a nice long belt. Feels great after a soak in the hot tub!
The vendor shipped very quickly and the robe was packed beautifully. It would have been ready give as a gift just the way it arrived in the mail.
- This robe is super soft and warm. I like it better than a traditional terry cloth robe because the bamboo gives it a silky quality while the cotton makes it warm and heavy. My only critique is that as a one-size-fits-all design, the sleeve openings tend to hang low and often get into food or dish ware below. I am 5'4" and it feels a bit oversized for me.
- This bamboo bathrobe is one-size fits all. I'm average build, 5'8" and find it fits comfortably loose on me. It wicks and absorbs water out of the shower well, keeps me warm, and feels great against my skin. I hope that it lasts for a lifetime.
As it turns out, it was also the least expensive bamboo robe I could find online. I'm very happy with my purchase.
- Despite numerous raves about fast shipping, outstanding packaging, and personalized, hand-written notes, I got none of that. I placed an order on December 8, plenty of time for Christmas, right?? Requested a status check on December 18 and that appeared to trigger some action. Shipping box arrived on December 22, but upon opening the shipping box, discovered two plastic bags containing the bathrobe and towel set ordered, with a small piece of solid red paper just lying across the top of the plastic bags. The "personalized, hand-written note" consisted of a very crumpled small tag that was taped to the red paper. The hand-written words were "Merry Christmas". Not exactly my idea of a personalized note. I had to get the entire order gift-wrapped and had to replace the tag as well since it was too crumpled to even iron out. There are many highly-touted robes and towels available, but I selected Turkish Towels primarily for their "fast shipping, outstanding packaging, and personalized, hand-written note" for this Christmas gift. I would have done better by just getting something from the local department store and had them wrap it up. Bah humbug!!
Updated on January 27, 2008:
As you can tell by the date of my original post (December 25), I was very upset by the shipping experience. My wife has now used the robe one month, and she is totally ecstatic with the robe. It is very soft, much softer than her previous heavy, all-cotton robe that she adored. The bamboo must make the difference. She is a small-framed person, slightly under 100 lbs and about 5'6" tall. The robe is somewhat big on her, but she likes her robes large. It is not dragging on the floor. It is a heavy robe, but again, she has no complaints. It appears to be very well made and we expect that it will hold up extremely well. Thank you, Christina, for your question as my frustration over the shipment is now secondary to the quality of the product. At this time, I would give the robe 5 stars and the customer service 1 star; overall 4 stars.

5 comments about MBT Kisumu Brown Sandals - Unisex.
- Comfortable, tremendous help to keep a good posture and no lower back pain. They are cute looking too!
- THIS SHOE HAS SAVED MY BACK!!! IT ADJUSTS 3 DIFFERENT WAYS SO IT REALLY FITS WELL. I BROKE MY FOOT LAST SUMMER & THE ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON TOLD ME THE SHOES I HAD ON WOULD STABILIZE MY FOOT BETTER THAN ANYTHING HE HAD. I REALLY CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM HIGHLY ENOUGH. I'VE BEEN WEARING THIS SANDALS FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS. I HAVE THE SNEAKERS AS WELL AND LOVE THEM TO0.
- I got these sandals on clearance - but they are worth the full price, as are any MBT shoes. I suffered from chronic back and knee pain - and MBT's have not only eliminated that pain, but allowed me to keep a job that keeps me on my feet all day long. The sandals are great because they are lighter than the regular shoes, but still give you that great pep to your step......
- I have worn MBT sneakers for 2 years and ordered my first pair of sandals about two weeks ago. I LOVE THEM - they are cooler for warm weather than the sneakers, of course, and still offer the same MBT feel while walking. I just ordered my husband a pair, too! BUY THESE SANDALS - you'll never regret it.
MBT's are great for easing stress on joints and working calves, hammies and glutes. When you first wear them, you'll definitely be "feeling" your glutes and your calves for a few days. LOL Don't forget to do the "standing" exercises in your MBT's folks! MBT's are high quality; last and wear tremendously and are well worth the money.
- I bought these MBTs for my mother. She has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. The joint pain is excruciating. These shoes are well worth the money. Mom has been feeling better and is even walking without her cane. She also has the MBT sneakers. MBT is HIGHLY recommended for people with sore joints - spend the money - you will not regret it!!!!

5 comments about Champion Men's Double Dry Classic Fleece Crew.
- This is a very nice, light to medium-weight sweatshirt. The material feels great, very soft. It keeps you warm and is comfortable and dry through a wide range of temperatures. But if you're looking for heavy-weight sweats, this isn't it.
- I just got two clothes one week ago. I am extremely disappointed. One cloth has very sharp cuts on the front and the logo color is different from the image on the website. The other cloth has the same problem of logo color which makes the cloth looks very ugly. I have to return the two clothes which cost me 9 dollars. Be very aware!
- I am very pleased with this sweatshirt. Champion is high quality and for $13.99, you can't beat it!
- GOOD QUALITY HUSBAND LOVES, RUNS RATHER LARGE IMO. I GOT LARGE FOR HIM BUT HE NEEDS A MEDIUM, WHERE MOST OTHER SWEATSHIRTS WOULD HAVE FIT IN A LARGE.
- I was surprised at how small the package was and though to myself 'oh great its probably paper thin and too small', but to my surprise it was soft lining and the size was perfect. Its a great sweatshirt and I also purchased the matching pants which are great for winter. The shirt arrived about a week before the pants, but for this quality I'll take what I can get.

3 comments about Sheer Jersey Short Sleeve Summer T-Shirt.
- This American Apparel "Summer Tee" is about everything you want in that 'perfect tee'. I am a black T-shirt connoisseur of sorts, I own over 45 black T-shirts, all from different brands, as I wear a black T-shirt 6 out of 7 days a week. I am 6ft tall, and a bit on the larger side for females, I wear a size 14 jeans and usually a L or XL shirt. I look for 4 things in a T-Shirt: 1.) richness of color 2.) Lightweight material 3.) Length (I cannot stand it when a shirt is short, it makes you look wider..and being 6ft tall, this happens to me a LOT) and 4.) Shape/cut of the T-shirt. It shouldn't be too fitted, which is unforgiving, but cut so that it does contour a bit, and not give you that 'cloth sack' look.
This American Apparel T has all 4 qualities. The black of this black t-shirt is rich and dark, and hasn't faded through 5 washes yet (I wash in a gentle cycle, and hang dry..NEVER put your shirts in a dryer if you want them to last, folks!), and always appears to look 'new', unlike a lot of other brands (ahem..Hanes and Fruit of the Loom, I'm talking to you!!).
Next, the cotton of this shirt is just lightweight enough so that it is cool in summer, can be layered in winter without looking bulky, and yet, if you are wearing it, you cannot see your undergarments through it (at least on the black shirt, I haven't tried lighter colors). Most 'tissue' or 'layering' shirts are TOO thin, and reveal your bra color to the world. I HATE 'beefy' tees, and while those might be good if you are doing extreme physical labor outside, they don't look good on anyone, and retain an awful shape.
The length of this shirt is perfect. Usually there is no such thing as too long for me, but there is ALWAYS 'too short', and this T-shirt is exactly what I need length-wise. It covers my stomach, and falls about halfway down to my hip, so it doesn't look like I am wearing a nightshirt, but it does prevent any 'riding up'.
Lastly, the shape and cut of this shirt exceeded my expectations. It is described as a 'tailored to flatter' shirt, and that it is. It slightly contours a bit down the sides, so if you are female, it will show your curves without hugging them, and if you are male, the sleeves and chest/shoulder area are form fitting enough where it accentuates any bulk you may have in your arms and chest, while hiding anything extra you may have in the stomach. It does this for the ladies too...accentuates your bust, and hides your tummy!
I did order this in a Men's size L, and haven't tried the women's version, because generally, women's tees are wayyyy too short for me, and the sleeves are too short for my liking. The sleeves on this tee, however, are the perfect length of about an inch and half above the elbow, and they hug a bit, but not too much (no 'bingo arms' here!)
So to sum it up, if you are looking for that ultimate, perfect with everything tee, this is it. It looks great with jeans, jean skirts, and even my long, flowy 'gypsy' skirts. It can be dressed up a bit, with a summer flouncy skirt and some nice accessories, if you have a lunch date or an evening outdoor concert or something like it, or it's perfect for lazing around the house, paired with cotton 'pajama' pants. Buy this one, and none of the others. Avoid Jerzees, Fruit of the Loom, and Hanes like the plague, and do your self a favor and stock up on these tees before they discontinue them or change them in some way. You won't be sorry, I definitely am not!
- Paramount American Apparel quality and style, this shirt is no exception.
I own many American Apparel shirts, and as they fill up my closet I continue to admire the attention to details, and the actual fabrics rather than a corporate logo and/or a cheesy print.
This shirt is light weight, thin, and really long for a t-shirt, but I think the longer the better considering cotton is notorious for shrinkage, so I see the length of the shirt as a huge plus.
I haven't been able to find AA items at this low of a price any where else, and my last order shipped about a week earlier than scheduled.
I'm very pleased with this shirt, and I want more!
More colors too please!
- Best TEE I've ever bought.
best TEE I,ve ever worn.
I was surprised and very happy.
I'm going to get as many as I can.
