Compared to people around me I seem to know a lot about fashion history, textiles and clothing in general.
Hot tip, like literally a hot tip, if you're having trouble being miserable in the hot weather this summer, try wearing 100% cotton, loose fitting clothes that cover your skin. 100% Linen or a linen/rayon blend is even better but pricey. Wear a hat. Polyester, acrylic, spandex, microfiber, they're all plastics that not only insulate you but don't absorb your sweat. That "moisture wicking technology" athletic clothing is always going on about is total bullshit. Wear a linen shirt in the sun with a breeze and marvel at the magic of evaporative cooling. Covering your skin with a hat and sleeves not only helps prevent sunburn, but is also your own portable shade. You know how much cooler it is in the shade, right?
You might look at pictures of old timey people all dressed in big dresses and long sleeve shirts and waistcoats in the old west and think "wow they must have been so uncomfortable!" but I bet you they were more comfortable than you in your polyester. Just ask a reenactor!
