While Sid Mashburn has yet to set up his own official webstore you can buy the majority of his shop’s stock (sorry, no tailored gear) online via Taigan.  You need to register of course, but it’s free and if you don’t find yourself in Hotlanta all that often this may be your best chance to finally cop some of Sid’s lust worthy gear.  It’s actually more of an online proxy/webstore/3rd party liaison in that you pick the item you want and then request your size.

Fetch and Go! Online retailers are a dime a dozen. But when a site offers a carefully curated selection of merch (including several hot ATL boutiques like The Mercantile, Bungalow Classic, Sid Mashburn and Star Provisions), names Vogue writer, author and tastemaker Julia Reed as its creative director and derives its moniker from an exotic hound that hunts by using all of its senses, we take notice.
