    What kind of shirt is this?

    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.

    What kind of shirt is this?

    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?

    Wanted: wide collar tanker or ricky jacket

    Off tumblr, a rockabilly page. I wish I had that jacket. The first two pictures are from 1945, of my grandpa. I'm told what he's wearing is actually a modified WWII Tanker jacket. But Rickys and Tankers seem to be quite a bit similar in some ways.

    Looking for a wide/spread collared Ricky or Tanker Jacket very similar to the jacket shown below, in size Large. Even a wide collared vintage Gabardine jacket will suffice. The only major things are a jacket of a very similar appearance with a flared/wide pointed collar.

    Are there any places which make replicas or reproductions of classic wear?

    Are there any places or sites where you can buy replicas or reproductions of classic clothes? I like a lot of old fashioned stuff--certain clothes and jacket styles, etc. But I don't want to wear something used, something that's 50 years old. Surely there's at least a niche market for...

    Hat + Brylcreem

    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.
