Custom Silk Modal Fabric Factory for Wholesale Orders
JacketTex is a direct supplier and manufacturer of custom Silk Modal fabrics and finished products for wholesale programs. Silk Modal combines natural silk with modal, a regenerated cellulosic fiber, but there is no universal blend ratio. We develop woven and knit options around the required silk percentage, modal percentage, GSM, width, color, print and finished-product use, with fabric swatches available before sampling and bulk production.
What Is Silk Modal Fabric?
Silk modal blends natural silk with modal, a regenerated cellulose fiber usually made from wood pulp. It has no universal ratio or construction. Modal can add softness, absorbency and relaxed drape, while silk adds luster and a more refined touch; the result depends on the stated blend, GSM and weave or knit.
Fibers: Silk + Modal
Silk Modal combines natural silk with regenerated-cellulosic modal. Because no standard ratio exists, state the exact silk and modal percentages in specifications and labels.
Construction: Woven or Jersey
Silk Modal may be woven or knitted. Woven structures give cleaner drape, while jersey adds stretch and a relaxed fit; confirm construction separately.
Performance: GSM & Recovery
Confirm GSM, stretch, recovery, pilling, shrinkage and washed hand feel on the selected fabric and finished sample before bulk production.
Silk Modal Blend Ratios and Fabric Characteristics
Compare common silk-modal blend ratios by luster, softness, fluidity and recommended end use.
| Typical Blend Ratio | Presented Effect | Hand & Drape | Common Product Direction |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15% Silk / 85% Modal | Modal-led, softly lustrous and print-friendly | Very soft, light and fluid with strong moisture comfort | Scarves, wraps, pajamas and lightweight accessories |
| 20% Silk / 80% Modal | Subtle silk glow with a smooth, clean surface | Flowing, soft and often semi-sheer at lighter weights | Scarves, kaftans, blouses, sleepwear and printed programs |
| 30% Silk / 70% Modal | More visible silk refinement while retaining modal softness | Supple, breathable and fluid with a slightly richer hand | Premium scarves, shirts, robes and relaxed dresses |
| Approx. 50% Silk / 50% Modal | Silk-rich, brighter and more premium in appearance | Fuller, smoother and glossier with less modal-led softness | Luxury lounge sets, intimate apparel and custom fashion programs |
These are market-observed reference ratios, not a universal industry standard or stock guarantee. Confirm true silk content: “modal silk” is also used in the market for silk-like 100% regenerated cellulose. Approve the exact ratio, generic fiber names, GSM, construction, pilling, shrinkage and sample before quotation or production.

Silk Modal Fabric FAQs
What is the MOQ for custom Silk Modal products?
MOQ depends on the finished product and customization level. Existing JacketTex styles can start at 5 pieces, while customized regular products and new custom apparel styles normally start at 50 pieces. Special blend development, colors, prints or packaging are quoted separately because Silk Modal does not have one confirmed universal fabric MOQ.
What is Silk Modal fabric?
Silk Modal is a blend of natural silk with modal, a regenerated cellulosic fiber commonly made from wood pulp. It is not a fixed composition or construction, so buyers should confirm the exact fiber percentages, woven or knit structure and GSM.
Does Silk Modal always contain real silk?
A fabric sold by JacketTex as a Silk Modal blend must contain a confirmed percentage of silk and modal. However, “modal silk” is used inconsistently in the wider market, so buyers should always check the actual fiber-content percentages rather than relying on the trade name alone.
What blend ratio should I choose for Silk Modal?
There is no universal best ratio. Select the silk and modal percentages according to the required luster, softness, drape, material positioning, construction and target cost, then approve the actual fabric and finished sample.
What should I confirm before ordering Silk Modal?
Confirm the exact fiber percentages, woven or knit construction, GSM, usable width, color or print, expected stretch and recovery, care method and intended product. For important wash-performance requirements, confirm them through the agreed fabric or finished sample before bulk production.
Can I request a Silk Modal fabric swatch before sampling?
Yes. JacketTex can provide free fabric swatches so buyers can review the stated ratio, construction, GSM, color, surface, stretch and hand feel before developing a finished sample or placing a bulk order.
