The bands are typically woven with a different weave pattern (like dobby or jacquard) than the plush loops of the main towel surface. This creates subtle zones that:
Wick moisture toward drier areas for more even drying.
Reduce clumping of wet loops, allowing air to circulate better.
Speed up drying time—critical in humid bathrooms where mildew can form.
Ironically, the bands themselves are less absorbent than the terry loops—but that’s intentional. They create a balance between softness and function.
3. Seamless Folding & Hanging
Many towels are designed so that the band aligns perfectly with standard folding lines. This isn’t accidental:
It makes folding neater and more consistent (hello, hotel-style rolls!).
When hung over a bar, the reinforced band bears the weight without tearing or distorting the fabric.
