Quick answer
Choose the Modal Sleep Shirt kurzarm if you want the softest, most fluid feel against the skin; choose the Night Basic Selection Shirt kurzarm if you prefer the plain, natural feel of pure cotton. Both are short sleeve sleep shirts in dress blue, so the fabric is the real decision.
Where the two shirts actually differ
On the supplied facts, the difference is the fiber blend. The Modal Sleep Shirt uses a single jersey of modal and elastane, while the Night Basic Selection Shirt uses pure cotton single jersey. Both share a classic crew neck and a comfortable fit with room to move, so neither is the restrictive option.
That makes this a feel-and-care decision rather than a fit decision. Modal is chosen for a soft, smooth hand feel; cotton is chosen for a familiar natural feel. The catalog does not list fabric weight, breathability ratings or shrinkage figures for either shirt, so treat those as unknowns rather than assume one wins.
The trade-off in plain terms
Modal and elastane give the Modal Sleep Shirt a fluid, slightly stretchy character that many people find pleasant for sleeping and lounging. The trade-off is that a blended jersey needs a little more care in the wash to keep that smooth surface, and the elastane content means it is not a pure natural-fiber garment.
Pure cotton is simple and predictable: it feels natural, handles regular washing without much fuss, and suits sleepers who dislike stretch in a night shirt. The trade-off is that it will not have the same silky drape as the modal blend. Neither shirt is objectively better; they reward different priorities.
Color and sizing: what the listings confirm
Both shirts are offered in dress blue, so you are not choosing between colorways here. Both also come in size and color options, which means you can match the rest of your sleepwear. The catalog does not publish a size chart in the supplied facts, so check the store's size options before ordering rather than guessing from the product name.
Decision rules for choosing between them
- If skin feel comes first: Take the Modal Sleep Shirt kurzarm. The modal-and-elastane jersey is the softer, smoother option on the supplied facts, and the comfortable fit keeps it from feeling tight. Wash it gently to protect the smooth surface.
- If simplicity comes first: Take the Night Basic Selection Shirt kurzarm. Pure cotton is the straightforward choice if you want a natural-feeling jersey and no elastane.
- If you are unsure about size: Both shirts come in size and color options but no size chart is supplied here, so confirm your size on the product page before ordering either one.
