{"product_id":"washington-mutual-golf-towel","title":"Washington Mutual Golf Towel","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWashington Mutual began as a Seattle institution in 1889 and grew into a widely recognized name through decades of change. This golf towel pairs a useful course-day companion with the WaMu story, from its Pacific Northwest origins to its national reach and the turning point of 2008. It suits golfers who collect company memorabilia, remember the familiar branch name, or enjoy exploring American business history. Take a piece of Seattle’s banking past along for a round with friends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWashington Mutual began in Seattle in 1889 as the Washington National Building Loan and Investment Association, formed after the Great Seattle Fire. It made its first West Coast home mortgage loan in 1890, adopted the Washington Savings and Loan Association name in 1908, and operated as Washington Mutual Savings Bank from 1917. The institution demutualized in 1983 and became a public company; in 1994 it reorganized as Washington Mutual, Inc., a holding company. A long acquisition period expanded its reach across the United States and into mortgage lending and credit cards. Major purchases included Great Western Financial in 1997, Home Savings in 1998, Bank United in 2001, and Providian in 2005. WaMu moved its headquarters to WaMu Center in downtown Seattle in 2006. After heavy deposit withdrawals in September 2008, federal regulators seized its banking operations and placed them in FDIC receivership on September 25. The FDIC sold the banking subsidiaries to JPMorgan Chase for $1.9 billion. WaMu branches were rebranded as Chase branches by the end of 2009. The holding company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Delaware on September 26, 2008.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLight, quick-drying, and built to travel with you on the course. This compact golf towel slips onto your bag with a solid gold grommet and ring, so it’s always within reach between swings. The dense microfiber weave soaks up moisture and cleans clubfaces without scratching. Its subtle printed logo sits low on the cloth for an understated look that won’t distract from your setup. Carry it clipped to your bag, loop it on your cart, or toss it in your travel kit—this towel is quietly reliable when the round gets long or the weather changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Microfiber blend (80% polyester, 20% polyamide) for strength and durability\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Highly absorbent weave that dries quickly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Compact one-size design: 16\" × 24\" (40.64cm × 60.96cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Gold grommet with ring for easy attachment to golf bags or clips\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Single-side print with a low-profile logo placement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Machine wash separately: cold (max 30C or 90F), gentle cycle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e16'' × 24''\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eWidth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e16.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eLength, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e24.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, 2 year warranty in EU and Northern Ireland as per Directive 1999\/44\/EC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Machine wash separately: cold (max 30C or 90F), gentle cycle\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"16'' × 24''","offer_id":54651000815900,"sku":"27992217180988830157","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/6917652644719260411_2048.jpg?v=1791179646","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/washington-mutual-golf-towel","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
