Luxurious Ablutions and the GSM Conundrum

Say, you ever been caught in one of these Department Stores, Gentle Reader, trying to buy yourself some Bathing Towels? You ask for something serviceable, something that will dry, and what do they show you? Flimsy bits of cloth fit for drying dishes, not a Man of Substance! And when you complain, they hit you with a lot of high-falutin’ talk about GSM. “GSM this, and GSM that,” they say. It’s enough to make a fellow reach for his Hip Flask.

Well, take it from one who’s Investigated, GSM ain’t some Kind of Patent Medicine Show. It stands for Grams per Square Meter, which, when you boil it down, tells you how dense the Towel is. Think of it like this: those skimpy little Numbers they use for drying the Spittoons at the Lodge, those are low GSM. But the kind of Towel that would impress John Jacob Astor himself, the kind that feels like a warm Embrace after a Turkish Bath, that’s your high GSM.

The bigger the Number, the thicker and more absorbent the Towel. It’s simple Arithmetic: more Cotton, more Drying Power, more Luxury. Of course, a high GSM Towel comes with a Price Tag that might give you a Touch of the Vapors. But consider this: when you step out of your Ablutions, wouldn’t you rather be enveloped in a Cloud of Turkish Delight than a Dishrag? It’s something to Ponder, isn’t it?
