Sheets from Cozytown linens

[washman]

Just arrived today, just got them out of the dryer except for the fitted sheet.

They are USA made by everest linens in AZ of imported 100% cotton. Thread count is 300.

I'm pretty impressed. The elastic on the fitted sheet is 3/4 inch. The sewing is neat with nary a stray thread. They are really soft without feeling like sateen or saran wrap. Size is queen and they set me back $136 with free shipping.

I normally do solid colors for sheets, I never did do the pattern thing, just basic solid colors that hold up with repeated washings.

Hi, Ben!

I visited the Everest Linens website, but did not immediately see how to place an order. Did you order them from another website or am I not looking in the right spot? I see a phone number, but that's it. Looks like a great quality product.

I am also a fan of solid color sheets; white, in my case.

Whoops! I guess the titular 'Cozytown Linens' prompt wasn't obvious enough for me, LOL.

What I dig

is the custom sizes and pocket depth you can get. I rarely shop at the mall or any brick and mortar store for things like this. LL Bean and Lands End along with Caravan fashions (Hardwick suits) have been dressing me for years and years now.

Online shoes.com is where I get my Rockport margin oxfords and Reebok Club C sneakers.

I only wear Allen-Edmonds dress shoes, made in Port Washington Wisc.

My wool sweaters I source from 2 places in England and they are indeed made there with genuine British Wool. Ever since marks & Spencers decided to pursue cheap, slave labor, I abandoned them like a bad habit.

Ben,

I'm glad you found some sheets you like. I wish we could all still buy linens like pictured. I guess they're from the '50's. The only thing on the tag is 'Pequot Peppermint Stripe'. Nothing about thread count or anything else to convince us the product was good. No one cared about thread count back then. Everything was quality and in packages, as I recall. I don't remember having to feel sheets in a store to see if they were worth buying. Is this what others remember? They're soft yet sturdy with a smooth finish. These haven't been ironed or anything. They just come out of the dryer like this.

Not trying to hijack your thread, Ben. It just reminded me of this.

Probalby something the MBA from Harvard dreamed up

to gain market share. I agree, back in the day no one cared about thread count.

You washed, dried, and ironed if need be then put them away.

Like the plethora of mostly repetitive cycles on washers these days, I cringe at the idea of another wave of Harvard trained dolts coming up with yet another gimmick to move the product. I refer to this class of people as "educated idiots".

Ever shop for motor oil these days? What a nightmare!

Let's see, we have new car, mid range car, old car, then "truck" motor oil, SUV oil, high mileage oil, 4x4 oil, 4 banger oil, v-6 oil, v-8 oil. And on and on and on. All one need to is refer to the never used owner's manual and you have everything you need there to select the correct oil.

I miss the days of 30w 10-30, 10-40 and 20-50 for those with hi po engines. I used to get Empire State recycled stuff at Dollah General for 4 bucks for 4 gallons. We used it in an oil burner 56 Chevy p/u with the Stovebolt six. Joke was pull into the gas station, fill it with oil and check the gas.

As I recall when I first started buying my own sheets over 45 yrs. ago there were two choices of thread count, percale, which was the best at around 180 to 200 thread count and muslin that was around 130 to 150 thread count. We all got along just fine with these choices. These new extremely high thread count sheets can be very hot because they don't "breath" as well as the lower thread count sheets. And when I was a kid in the 50's colored or patterend sheets were pretty much items that only that more well off people could afford, most people had white, flat sheets for the top and bottom. You needed to be good at hospital corners if you wanted your bottom sheet to stay put on the mattress. Fitted sheets were very well received when they came out.

Cozy town sheets

 

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Hi Washman,</span>

 

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">So it's been a couple of weeks.  How do you like your sheets?  We bought a new bed over the weekend and once I get over the sticker shock (our current mattress is 12 years old so it's been a while since I have priced them) I need to order some new sheets due to the height of the mattress so before I ordered anything I wondered how you liked yours.  I like the idea of USA made too.</span>

 

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Thanks.</span>
