Favorite Vintage Brands For Natural & Breathable, Durable Clothing

What are your favorite vintage brands (and era if they were only good for a certain time period)? I’ve been dressing in predominantly vintage clothing outside of work and loungewear for several years now. Besides loving the fashion of previous decades (especially 60s, 70s, & 90s), another reason I thrift is for sustainability reasons and very rarely buy even modern clothing that is not secondhand.

The problem is a lot of my clothing especially from the 70s is made with uncomfortable materials (polyester especially). While it’s ok depending on the occasion, I walk everywhere and just cannot stand how sweaty and gross these unbreathable materials are. My mission now is to shop only for natural materials, such as cotton and linen. Additionally I’m hoping to find items that will hold up to regular wear and also not require dry cleaning. Are there certain brands that you find reliable in these factors? Thanks in advance!

Edit to add: I personally don’t wear wool and silk due to my vegan lifestyle but support others purchasing it secondhand to reduce the demand knowing they (wool especially) are generally durable and eco-friendly options.
