2nds, barely perceptible blemishes. Touchably soft and long-lasting modal is the key element in Lorpen's Virginia socks, and their fun, stripe-and-floral print amps up the style.

Don't mix these up with thick winter socks. They are comfortable, attractive, and good with slacks in an office. I like them for that purpose but have not had them long enough to comment on durability, though I can say other Lorpen's I own are durable.

I ordered these socks in the correct size, but they were difficult to put on. The material is rather thin, without much stretch. Once they were on, they were comfortable. They definitely look cuter in the picture than they do out of the package.
Answer
Modal is considered a type of rayon. It is a processed bio-based textile made from reconstituted cellulose from the beech tree. It is very soft. One of the advantages of modal over cotton is its resistance to shrinkage, a notorious problem with cotton. Modal is also less likely to fade or to form pills as a result of friction
