Modal Fabrics

When choosing a T-shirt, many people focus on style and color, but ignore the core of what really affects the wearing experience – the fabric. The comfort, breathability and durability of a T-shirt on the body cannot be separated from the fabric itself. In recent years, more and more men in pursuit of quality of life began to pay attention to a term: Modal.

Today, let’s talk – what is Modal Fabric? Why do menswear brands like Fioboc use it as their core fabric? Is it really suitable for your everyday wear, and even better than traditional cotton?

What Is Modal? Why Is It the New Favorite for “Quality Menswear”?

Modal is a regenerative cellulose fiber made from natural wood pulp and processed through environmentally friendly technology. As a combination of “nature + technology”, Modal has the breathability and softness of natural materials, but also has the elasticity and stability of modern technology.

Modal Fabrics’ Five Advantages:

  • Ultimate softness: the touch is more delicate than cotton, closer to the “baby skin” like affinity.
  • good moisture-wicking ability: more moisture than cotton, especially for summer or a sweaty body.
  • Natural anti-wrinkle: not easy to deform, pleating, no need to iron after washing, suitable for lazy people/business trips, and parties.
  • Not easy to shrink and deform: keep the original shape after washing, even if you wear it again and again, it is still “like new”.
  • Eco-friendly and sustainable: made from renewable wood, it is in line with the contemporary concept of “sustainable clothing”.

Why Does Fioboc Choose Modal Fabrics?

Fioboc is a brand that emphasizes technical fabrics and wearable design, and naturally, it has very high standards for the “wearing experience”. In its Modal Blend collection, modal is blended with cotton and spandex to create a high-performance T-shirt that combines comfort, stretch, and stiffness.

The benefit of this blending technology is that it retains the lightness and softness of modal while reinforcing the overall durability and support through the structure, so that the T-shirt is no longer an “at-home” option but an all-rounder suitable for multiple scenarios, such as commuting, dating, traveling, and leisure.

By choosing modal, you are choosing a more responsible way of consumption.
