Brands or belt makers that have thin and stylish belts?
I would suggest you some Vintage Cartier Belts. You can often get some good looking high quality belts for a relatively low price. Vestiaire Collective has quite a lot of them on their Website but they sadly cost a little more than average.

Sunspel sizing and Quality
Thank you for your answer. I have seen some Polos of them for roughly 23€ a piece and I honestly like the design. Are they slimmer than Ralph Lauren's Polos? or is there anything that you can compare them to?

Where do I find shirts that fit like this?
I can also suggest you Represent. Their T-Shirts have a good quality and their Retail Price may be a little higher but you can easily find Represent stuff on sale with some heavy discounts. The main problem with them is that the majority of their prints just look rather bad and way too basic (atleast in my opinion) but they also have some really good ones.

Where do I find shirts that fit like this?
I don't know what your budget is but if you want high quality Shirts that fit like that and have some good prints, then I would suggest to check out Kith. They have made some Vintage Washed shirts with an oversized fit. Sadly, they are often pretty limited and can be pretty expensive on Ebay but they should soon release another Collection with such shirts.

What shoes and pants could I wear with this shirt?
Overall, such Poloshirts will either make you look extremely mature or immature and young depending on how you style it. Therefore, it's always better to try to combine it with more sophisticated pieces because otherwise you will start to look very juvenile.

What shoes and pants could I wear with this shirt?
I honestly don't know how you are trying to style it but I personally would wear this shirt with some plain Chino or Suit pants and a suit Belt (or just a sophisticated leather belt).
Polos like these looks great when you tuck them in your pants, which is why I would choose a more of a subtle belt that has no branding nor any flashy colors (preferably black or brown). A few examples for a good belt are the Lloyd 1658 and the LLoyd NOS Belt.
With shoes I would suggest you to either get some black Chukka boots or derby shoes. If you rather want to stick to more casual shoes you can also take some plain black leather sneakers.

What do y’all do for “Hand Wash Only”
Same for be but I wash everything in the washing machine and I had no problems so far. I have multiple wool sweatshirts and they've been fine, even after many washes. I also use special wool laundry detergent for everything because it's usually more gentle and can preserve your clothes better than normal detergent.

Re-washing a stretched jumper?
My merino wool pullovers always shrunk slightly after washing them. I've used a washing machine with a hand-wash program. The behavior of merino wool somewhat depends on the knit, the yarn, the quality of the wool and how it had been treated. In general merino stuff often gets tighter after washing it, and can become longer, depending on the earlier mentioned factors. You should be good with just washing it lightly and drying it flat.

"Essential" Ties?
I personally came to the conclusion that it's important to have a plain black tie. There are always occasions where you need one, like funerals for example. In general the color black matches well with every other color, meaning that you can wear with nearly everything to nearly every occasion.

"Essential" Ties?
It's always important to get some "basics" first and then over time you can get something more playful and more unique ones. You always need some that you can combine with everything.

Any suggestions for a Sherpa Jacket similar to this?
Also brands like Stüssy and HUF had fleece jackets that were somewhat like this but they're sadly harder to find because they're pretty sought after, especially the Stüssy ones.

Basic bastard watches
Casio sometimes uses Brass. The whole Casio Collection Series for example has plated brass casings and the material feels incredibly cheap.

What are good shirts for when it's hot?
Another good material for hot weather is Silk. It can cool you down fairly quickly but sadly silk is really sensitive and can get destroyed fairly quickly. It's also really expensive but you can always get stuff that isn't solely made out of silk to save money.

Basic bastard watches
I think that I will also throw my 2 cents in here. There are many good watches for every budget. For beginners I can always suggest to start with quartz watches because they tend to cost way less than automatic watches do. My current go-to brand is Citizen. They have high quality watches, especially quartz ones and their designs are really nice. They also offer some comparably cheap automatic watches (I had sometimes found the Tsuyosa watches for nearly half the RRP).
I can also recommend you Seiko and Casio watches but try to get yourself a watch that is made out of stainless steel because otherwise you might get ones that are made out of cheaper materials (i. e. brass), that can get scratched easily.

business casual sweater?
It's quite playful. Therefore, it's hard to tell if it's really good for such an environment. If your workplace is rather conservative then I can tell you that it will definitely does not in such an environment but if it isn't really strict, then you can go for it.

It's definitely always good to talk to a professional in person, they usually know what is best for you. If you do, then consider mentioning that it's quite common in your family because it will make the diagnosis faster.

Yeah, I was kind of drunk and hadn't slept the night before while writing that xd. I noticed that I had changed my style of writing a couple of times throughout the message.
