Sid Mashburn is a great source for good clothes with just that little bit of extra design to elevate it above the basics, and with material quality that’s better as well, without being too weird or outing you as a menswear guy. It also cannot be overstated how a good website, good fulfillment and good customer service makes a difference as well.
My favorite Sid categories are consistently: Their sweaters, their polo shirts, their button-up shirts and their belts. On that last one, it’s surprisingly hard to find above-average-looking belts for not insane prices. Sid has several perennial styles that are great. I’ve linked a couple, but the whole page is full of great options with neat buckles, and their leather quality is good for the price.
I’m not sure if they’ll run any promotions for Black Friday, but if they do, these are the products I’d have bookmarked to buy when any such promotion begins.

Their Ghost Blazer is one of their best sellers, I keep reading, and in the abstract it makes sense—it’s a high-twist wool (meaning it is as wrinkle-resistant as a natural fiber will get, basically, plus it’s very breathable), it is totally unlined and unstructured (meaning it’s extra breathable having forsaken the canvassing in the chest), but it’s designed like a normal blazer and not some weird hybrid thing that’s supposed to be “casual” (hybrid “casual” sportcoats never succeed at replacing actual tailoring and just make you look like a dingus IMO).

Long-Sleeved Polo in Heather Denim Pima Pique
Classic Crewneck Sweater in Navy Cashmere
Their sweaters fit great and are a good quality fiber. My go-to cashmere recommendation in this general price range.
