Modal fabric?

I've never seen this fabric, but here's a definition of what modal fabric is as defined at

modal: type of viscose. Modal fabric has softness, good drape and is comfortable for wearing Modal fabric has good moisture regain and air permeability which is often considered better than cotton fabric, it is a good material for exercise clothing and health suit, which can serve to benefit physiology circulation and health of the body. Modal fabric has level up surface, fine and smooth and velvet, which have the effect of natural silk. The yarn has the character of high strength. The fabric has good softness and brilliant luster. The effect of the finished Modal garment is very good, and the form is steady. The garment maintains anti-crease properties and has relatively easy care.

It's a type of cellulosic fabric, like rayon or tencel. Technically man-made, it's made from natural materials. It's used much like rayon, and is often blended with polyester.

Fiber, not a fabric. It's a trade name for high wet modulus rayon. Can be woven to make many, many types of fabric. Probably closest in feel and behavior to Tencel (lyocell)
