Speaking from memory, the old leisure suits didn't breathe worth a damn.
They were also clammy which I interpret as not breathing well.    Perhaps it
was the exertion from busting all the moves on the dance floor (not).

Suggest getting out the Sierra Trading Post Catalog or visiting their web
site.  At $8 - $10 per piece it is higher than the thrift shop, but it is
wicking polyester.  (No affiliation or commercial interest)
