Sid Mashburn’s Top Five Picks for Fall

One of the few exceptions to the “trust no one” rule: Sid Mashburn. At least when it comes to handpicking what you wear this fall. So we had a chat with him on the matter. He said some stuff. And that stuff is written below for your body’s convenience.

FOR YOUR TORSO

These Spread-Collar Sport Shirts

Sid Says: “Flannel and plaid together epitomize fall for us—and all of them have quite a few colors going on. There’s pretty much an option for everyone, depending on your football plans and team allegiances.”
We Say: Slowly. Calmly. Step away from the Matt Ryan jersey. You heard the man. Do it.

FOR YOUR LEGS

These Levi’s 514 Cords

Sid Says: “Again, corduroy is fall. The green is pretty fresh, but toned down a little for cooler weather. The texture wears in beautifully.”
We Say: We see you doing big things in these pants. Napping. Strolling. Post-stroll napping.

FOR YOUR FEET

These Corona Roper Boots

Sid Says: “We’re set to open our Houston shop in early November, so we’ve been feeling very Western lately. These are a fantastic value, and they’re a subtler take on a classic cowboy boot.”
We Say: Wear these to a cider pressing. Or to Houston in early November.

FOR YOUR V-SHAPED NECK

This Super-Fine Cashmere Sweater

Sid Says: “When you’ve said cashmere, you’ve said it all. Super-fine, super-soft, super-classic.”
We Say: He’s right, you know. No, that’s it. He’s just right.

FOR A LUCKY SOMEONE’S SHOULDERS

This Reversible Wool Wrap Cape

Sid Says: “You can channel Clint Eastwood in The Outlaw Josey Wales if you dare to wear this yourself. Otherwise, it’s a pretty great gift for your girl... and doubles as a makeshift picnic blanket for the two of you.”
We Say: It doesn’t have to be an either-or situation.
