Questions

Common questions

What is modal?

Modal is a regenerated cellulose fiber: plant pulp is dissolved and spun into a new fiber. It feels smooth, cool and soft. Our Eco-Luxe Boxer Briefs are modal with a little spandex for stretch, and our Classic Crew, Henley and V-Neck are a cotton and modal blend, 60% cotton and 40% modal.

What does zero polyester mean?

Zero polyester means no July Mode style contains any polyester. Our styles are made from plant fibers such as cotton, modal and bamboo viscose. Where a style needs stretch, we add a small amount of spandex, also called elastane, and list it on the label. The Pima Fleece and the Deccan-Luxe set have no spandex at all.

Why is polyester plastic?

Polyester is a synthetic fiber made from petroleum. Chemically it is a plastic, usually PET, the same material used for plastic drink bottles. It is melted and pushed through tiny holes to make long filaments, which are spun into yarn and knit or woven into fabric. A 100% polyester shirt is a plastic shirt.
