How this tee compares to similar brushed modal loungewear

• OAK + FORT's Cotton Modal Crewneck T-Shirt blends just 42% modal with 53% cotton and 5% spandex for $34 CAD, while Miiyu’s tee is 95% TENCEL™ Modal with 5% spandex at $39 CAD — the more than doubled modal proportion yields a silkier, more moisture-wicking fabric that justifies the $5 step-up for buyers prioritizing a pure modal feel.
• Miiyu is a house brand designed exclusively for Canadian retailer Simons, which bypasses third-party wholesale markups; at $39 CAD the brushed 95% TENCEL Modal tee lands below comparable specialty loungewear from multi-brand retailers, making it a private-label deal that leans into fabric luxury without the brand premium.
• The White Company's 'Super Soft Brushed Modal Jersey T-Shirt' — a similar TENCEL™ Modal blend with brushed underside — lists at £35 (approx. $60 CAD), while Miiyu delivers a brushed TENCEL Modal top for $39 CAD, about 35% less, giving buyers a comparable premium loungewear feel at an entry-level price.

Sustainability credentials of TENCEL Modal

• The exact standard textile fiber grade behind this jersey, LENZING™ Modal Standard TX, is covered by the EU Ecolabel for Textile Products (license AT/016/001), a multi-criteria standard that evaluates environmental impact from raw material extraction through chemical handling — providing independent third-party confidence in the fiber’s eco-claims.
• Lenzing’s TENCEL™ Modal is independently tested and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified to be free from harmful substances at levels safe for direct and prolonged skin contact, so it meets a higher safety threshold than unregulated fabric — a substantive advantage for a garment worn against the body while sleeping.
• The TENCEL™ Modal manufacturing process recycles a high percentage of its chemicals in a near-loop system, dramatically cutting toxic discharge into waterways compared to the open-process chemical baths typical of generic viscose production.
• The TENCEL™ Modal fibers are derived from wood responsibly harvested under FSC® or PEFC chain-of-custody standards, directly linking the garment to forestry that safeguards old-growth forests and biodiversity rather than contributing to deforestation — a structural advantage over synthetic fabrics made from fossil fuels.
• Per the Higg Materials Sustainability Index, TENCEL™ Modal production uses at least 50% less water and generates less than half the carbon emissions of conventional modal — so choosing a tee made primarily from this fiber measurably lowers the environmental footprint of your loungewear drawer.

What TENCEL Modal fabric is and why the brushed underside matters

• TENCEL Modal fibers are approximately 50% finer than standard cotton (0.5 dtex vs 1.0–1.5 dtex), which gives this tee a dramatically smoother, silkier surface against the skin — the foundation of its premium hand feel compared to an ordinary cotton shirt.
• Unlike most fabrics that stiffen and fade over time, TENCEL Modal fibers relax and settle with each wash, actually growing softer — which means this brushed tee will feel even more comfortable after months of use than it did on day one.
• The 5% spandex content gives the jersey a forgiving, easy-to-move-in stretch that complements the straight fit, adding flexibility without compromising the fluid drape — a practical benefit for sleep or lounging that a pure cotton tee can't match.
• Modal can absorb 50% more moisture than cotton and wick it away 20% faster, so this shirt keeps you drier during sleep or lounging — a meaningful advantage for warm sleepers or those who layer it.
• The brushed underside — produced by a napping process that raises the surface fibers — gives the inside of the shirt a velvety, peachy texture that feels warmer against the skin than a smooth modal jersey, because the brushed fibers trap still air. The outer face remains unbrushed, so the shirt retains the fluid drape and subtle sheen of standard modal on the outside.
• Lenzing produces TENCEL Modal fibers in a closed-loop system that recovers over 95% of water and solvents, and uses FSC/PEFC certified beechwood from sustainably managed forests — so this softness and performance come with a significantly lower water footprint than conventional cotton and many generic modal fabrics.
