I was asked what foxing is.....I thought I would repost for other as well.....
Term is most often used by dealers of books and ephemera as well as vintage clothing items.....

Foxing is yellow/brown spotting that occurs as a result of a reaction of chemical residue in cloth (chemicals used to bleach or whiten) when exposed to oxygen though the years (oxidation). This occurs with metallic residue also...

Very common in vintage hats and I don’t see it as a detraction.
