Economy Basic Hand and Bath Towels

A 100% cotton towel woven from 10s single-ply open-end yarn and finished with a single CAM border. Built for bulk buyers across care communities, gyms, schools, camps, restaurants and workshops, including towels headed for cleaning duty.

The Facts

• Fiber: 100% cotton, 10s single-ply open-end yarn
• Border: Single CAM border
• Consistency: Thickness and weave can vary between production batches
• Best for: Resident rooms, gym and locker room use, wipe-down and cleaning work, and any high-turnover setting where towels are replaced often

The Details

The yarn sets the price. Yarn count runs backwards, so a low number like 10s means a heavy strand, which gives this towel real body for an entry-level product. Single-ply means one strand goes straight into the loom instead of two twisted together first, which skips a step that adds strength and cost.

Open-end spinning saves more. The cotton is spun in a high-speed rotor rather than on a ring frame, which is fast and inexpensive but makes a coarser, weaker yarn than ring-spun. For towels that are washed hard, replaced on a schedule, or used on spills and surfaces, that is the right place to save.

Because thickness and weave can vary between batches, order the full quantity at once if towels need to match across a linen closet or a set of rooms.

Economy PLUS Towels - 16s 86/14 Poly Cotton Blend

An economy towel spun from 16s open-end yarn in an 86% cotton, 14% polyester blend, finer in the hand than the coarsest towels at this price. Built for care facilities, group homes, gyms, schools and camps buying in volume for daily use and routine replacement.

The Facts

• Yarn: 16s open-end spun
• Border: Single CAM border
• Blend: 86% cotton / 14% polyester
• Best for: Resident rooms, locker rooms, shared baths, hospitals, clinics and stock that turns over quickly

The Details

Yarn count explains the feel. The number rises as the yarn gets finer, so 16s is a thinner yarn than the 10s common at the very bottom of the economy range, and a thinner yarn makes a less coarse loop. Open-end spinning, the fast and inexpensive method, is what holds the price down.

Polyester is the structural half of the blend. It is stronger than cotton and resists stretching and shrinking, so the towel holds its size and shape through frequent hot washes better than an all-cotton towel at this price.

Out of the package these feel slightly stiff, since new towels carry finish from the mill. After the first wash the finish is gone and the pile softens and fills out.

Revel - Premium Basic Blended Towels 12s Poly Cotton

A cotton and polyester towel woven from 12s ring-spun yarn: a heavier yarn count made with the smoother spinning method used above the economy tier. Built for senior living communities, care facilities and guest baths that want a softer towel in daily rotation without moving up to long-staple cotton.

The Facts

• Yarn: 12s ring-spun
• Border: Single CAM border
• Blend: 86% cotton / 14% polyester
• Best for: Resident rooms, guest baths, and senior living stock that is seen as well as used

The Details

Two yarn specs work together here. Cotton counts run in reverse, so 12s is a thick yarn that gives the loops body. Ring spinning draws the fibers out and twists them continuously, binding them tightly so fewer loose ends stand up from the surface. That is what makes the hand smooth rather than coarse, and it produces a stronger yarn than open-end spinning at the same count.

The polyester gives the towel its backbone. It is stronger than cotton and resists stretching and shrinking, so the towel keeps its dimensions through repeated laundering.

Carton packing is the other deliberate choice. Bale packing presses towels tightly to cut freight cost, which flattens the pile. Cartons cost a little more to ship but leave the loops uncrushed, so the towels arrive with more of their loft.

Premium Plus Cotton Washcloths, Hand Towels, Bath Towels and Bath Mats

An all-cotton towel woven from 12s ring-spun yarn and finished with a dobby border, in a dense, heavyweight construction. Built for senior living communities, care facilities and mid-range hospitality buyers who want a towel with real substance for resident rooms and guest baths.

The Facts

• Fiber: 100% cotton, 12s ring-spun yarn
• Border: Dobby border
• Absorbency: Cotton through the full thickness, with no synthetic content
• Best for: Resident rooms, guest baths, and hospitality linen where feel matters

The Details

With no polyester anywhere in it, every part of this towel takes up water, not just the loops. A blended towel trades some of that absorbency for a polyester base that holds its shape. Here the trade runs the other way: more softness and absorbency, slightly less dimensional stability over a long commercial wash rotation.

The yarn is ring-spun, which twists the fibers tightly as they are drawn out and locks in the loose ends that make rougher towels feel coarse and shed lint. At a thick 12s count and a heavy weight per dozen, that adds up to a dense towel with real body in the hand.

Shipping in cartons rather than compressed bales means the pile arrives standing rather than pressed flat.

Oxford Tuscany Towel Collection

A 100% zero twist cotton towel with an all-over checker texture across its face, finished with a CAM border. Built for hotels, spas and senior living guest suites that want a plush towel with a more contemporary look than a smooth face and a decorative band.

The Facts

• Fiber: 100% zero twist cotton
• Border: CAM border
• Pattern: All-over checker texture
• Feel: Lofty and plush, from yarn spun with little or no twist
• Best for: Hotel guest rooms, spas, pool decks, and senior living guest suites

The Details

The yarn is why this towel feels the way it does. Most towel yarn is tightly twisted for strength, which packs the fibers down. Zero twist yarn leaves out most of that twist, so the fibers stay loose and full, and each loop presents more open fiber to the skin and to water.

The checker pattern covers the entire towel rather than sitting in a band at the ends. That gives the surface texture from edge to edge, and it is what sets Tuscany apart visually from the rest of the Luxe collections.

The open surface that makes zero twist soft also makes it easier to snag. Velcro, rough hooks and jewelry can pull loops, so Tuscany suits guest-facing rooms better than heavy-duty general stock.

Oxford Viceroy Towel Collection

A combed cotton terry towel with two-ply yarn in the pile, finished with a checkered border that has small pile loops of its own. Built for senior living communities and mid-range hotels that want a textured, guest-ready towel that stands up to frequent laundering.

The Facts

• Fiber: 100% combed cotton terry
• Border: Checkered border, woven from two-ply ring-spun cotton with small pile loops
• Pile: Two-ply cotton yarn
• Best for: Guest baths, senior living suites, hotel rooms and pool areas

The Details

Every loop in this towel is made from two strands of yarn twisted together rather than one. Plying makes a stronger, more even yarn than a single strand of the same fiber, so the loops hold up better against the rubbing of washing and tumbling, which is where towels wear out first.

Combing adds to that. Before spinning, the cotton is combed to strip out short fibers, leaving longer, more uniform fiber with fewer loose ends at the surface. That keeps the terry smooth rather than fuzzy as it ages.

The border carries small pile loops set into a checkered pattern, so it reads as texture rather than a flat stripe across the ends of the towel.

Oxford Imperiale Color Towel Collection

A 100% ring-spun cotton towel in five vat-dyed colors, finished with a dobby border and dobby edge. Built for senior living communities, mid-range hotels and pool areas that want color in their linens from a dye that is locked into the fiber.

The Facts

• Fiber: 100% ring-spun cotton
• Border: Dobby border with dobby edge
• Color: Bone, Kashmir Green, Blue Mist, Colonial Blue and Charcoal Grey
• Dye: Vat dyed
• Best for: Guest baths, resident rooms, hotel rooms and pool areas

The Details

In a colored towel, the dyeing method matters most. Vat dye enters the cotton in a soluble form, soaks into the fiber, and is then converted back into an insoluble pigment trapped inside it. Because the color sits within the fiber rather than on its surface, it resists washing out and holds up well in sunlight.

The yarn is ring-spun, drawn and twisted tightly so fewer fiber ends stick out from the surface. That gives the towel a smoother hand and a stronger loop than open-end yarn.

Five colors also give a facility a simple sorting system. One shade for pool towels and another for guest rooms keeps linens where they belong.

Oxford Roma Towel Collection

An 87% cotton and 13% lyocell blend finished with diamond dobby borders and dobby hems. The lyocell content does something a pure cotton towel cannot, bringing wet strength and fast moisture movement, which makes this the collection to look at for commercial settings running a demanding wash rotation.

The Facts

• Blend: 87% cotton / 13% lyocell
• Border: Diamond dobby border with dobby hem
• Color: White
• Yarn: Smart Twist low-twist construction, made without plastic binder
• Absorbency: High, with fast moisture release so towels dry out between uses
• Durability: Lyocell holds its strength when wet, which is exactly when towels take the most abuse

The Details

Lyocell is what separates this collection from everything else in the line. It is a cellulose fiber made from wood pulp in a closed-loop process where the solvent is captured and reused rather than discharged. What matters for a towel is how it behaves: lyocell has a smooth fiber surface, moves moisture quickly, and unlike most plant fibers it holds its strength when wet. Since a towel spends its whole working life wet and then goes through a hot wash while still wet, that wet strength translates directly into a towel that survives commercial laundering. The fast moisture movement also means it dries out more completely between uses.

The Smart Twist yarn is the second difference. Low-twist towels feel plush because the fibers are left open rather than compacted by tight twisting, which exposes more fiber surface to absorb water. The catch is that loose yarn is too fragile to survive weaving on its own, so the standard industry fix is to wrap it in a water-soluble plastic filament that washes out afterward. Smart Twist reaches the same result without that plastic step, which is a real production difference rather than a label.

At 87/13, the lyocell share is small enough to keep the cost sensible for bulk buying and large enough to change how the towel behaves. For wholesale buyers with sustainability language in their procurement criteria, this is the one collection in the line you can point to with a specific process rather than a vague adjective.

Oxford Salon and Spa Towel

A 100% ring-spun cotton hand towel, vat dyed in eight neutral shades for workstations where towels are on show all day. Built for hair and nail salons, beauty parlors, and massage and wellness studios that go through towels in volume.

The Facts

• Fiber: 100% ring-spun cotton
• Color: Eight neutral shades
• Dye: Vat dyed
• Bleach: Not bleach-safe. For work with hair lightener, choose a bleach-resistant towel
• Best for: Shampoo stations, nail tables, treatment rooms and workstation hand drying

The Details

Ring spinning pulls the cotton fibers into line and twists them tight as the yarn forms, tucking in the short ends that would otherwise stand up from the surface. The result is a smoother towel against skin, with loops strong enough for the constant use and laundering a salon puts them through.

The color is vat dyed. The dye is absorbed into the cotton in a soluble form, then set as an insoluble pigment inside the fiber, where washing cannot easily reach it. That keeps each towel's shade steady through repeated laundering.

Vat dyeing does not make a towel bleach-proof, and these are not bleach-safe. Hair lightener and bleach-based cleaners can spot them, so stations that handle lightener are better served by a bleach-resistant towel.

Oxford Salon and Spa Towel: Bleach Proof

A colored 100% ring-spun cotton hand towel made to resist spotting from bleach, finished with a dobby border and offered in eight neutral shades. Built for hair and nail salons, beauty parlors, fitness centers, health clubs, and massage and wellness studios where towels come into contact with lightener and bleach-based cleaners.

The Facts

• Fiber: 100% ring-spun cotton
• Border: Dobby border
• Bleach: Bleach-resistant color
• Color: Eight neutral shades
• Dye: Vat dyed
• Best for: Color stations, shampoo bowls, gym towel service and treatment rooms

The Details

Colored towels in a salon are usually ruined by small accidents rather than wear. A smear of lightener or a splash of bleach cleaner leaves a pale spot that never comes back. This towel is made to hold its color through that contact, so a stack stays uniform instead of collecting blotches.

The cotton is vat dyed. The dye penetrates the fiber in a dissolved state and is then fixed as a solid pigment inside it, which gives strong resistance to fading in the wash.

Under the color, the yarn is ring-spun, twisted firmly as it is drawn so the fiber ends lie flat rather than standing up. That gives the towel its smooth face and the strength to handle daily salon laundering.

Oxford Super Gym Towels - Bleach Proof

A cotton and polyester gym towel with a ribbed color stripe and a 4-inch flat CAM border, made to keep its color through bleach. Built for gyms, fitness clubs, schools and camps that wash towels hard and often, with bleach in the cycle.

The Facts

• Blend: 86% cotton / 14% polyester
• Border: 4-inch flat CAM border
• Pattern: Ribbed color stripe
• Bleach: Bleach-resistant color
• Best for: Locker rooms, sweat towels on the gym floor, and team or camp towel service

The Details

Gym towels see bleach in nearly every wash, and bleach gradually strips the color from an ordinary dyed towel. This one is made to keep its color through that routine, so the stripes stay distinct and color-coded sets stay easy to sort.

The 14% polyester handles the laundry side. Polyester is stronger than cotton and resists stretching and shrinking, so the towel holds its original size through constant hot washing, where an all-cotton towel tends to shrink and lose its shape. The cotton majority keeps the towel absorbent for its main job.

Oxford Rally Towels

A small 100% cotton terry towel sized for waving, handing out and carrying, with a plain face ready for a logo, team name or event name. Built for schools, universities, teams, camps and event organizers ordering in bulk for game days, tournaments and concerts.

The Facts

• Fiber: 100% cotton terry
• Branding: Plain face ready for a logo, text or event name
• Use: Football, basketball and baseball games, wrestling tournaments, concerts and rallies
• Best for: Spirit giveaways, team merchandise, and camp and event souvenirs

The Details

At 11 by 17 inches, this towel is about the size of a tabloid sheet. That is large enough to carry a readable logo and small enough to wave one-handed in a packed stand, or to hand out by the box at the gate.

Because it is real cotton terry, it absorbs like any other towel. That keeps it useful after the event as a sweat towel at the gym or a wipe-down towel in the car, and every reuse puts the name on it back in front of someone.
