Modal fabric for bespoke shirts or suits?

I'm impressed with the properties of modal for my underwear: beautiful drape, extreme softness, lightweight, dries quickly, does not crease much... I may order bespoke shirts (or even suits?) made of this fabric. What do you think about it? Would it be inconvenient in some way? Is it breathable enough for you? What would be the best modal brand on the market?

Indeed, a "pimp" vibe is mandatory for a modal suit.

But it seems quite reasonable for a shirt... Maybe the drape would be too much for a clean front of the shirt? Or not at all?
