Well the shirt I'm looking at is a mid 70s Butterfly collar Dacron Poly/Cotton blend....I'm just wondering if vintage 70s polyester, specifically Dacron Polyester, would have any major issues? It's just a regular shirt, not a suit suit. A sort of button down, short sleeve typical mid 70s shirt.
Question: Am looking at a vintage 70s 65% Dacron Polyester, 35% Cotton mix shirt. Since it's a cotton/poly mix, will it be as bad on the sweat end as some here mentioned with regard to polyester? I ask because I have some (modern) cotton/poly blend shirts and they're ok, but maybe they were made...

Can people dig up any other pictures of JFK carrying or wearing a hat as President besides the ones I dug up?
Also, any rare pictures of any Presidents since LBJ wearing a hat (besides the Reagan and Bush cowboy hat pictures)?
Is wearing a hat such as a fedora, and wearing brylcreem incompatible? I wouldn't want to ruin a hat with brylcreem but at the same time my hair looks better slicked back and it's wild to take care of otherwise.
