Slimmer shoes with athletic/straight chinos?
Question - as someone who's been wearing slim fit chinos for a few years now, if I were to switch up to a more athletic fit with a slightly wider cut at the ankle, will it still look ok with slimmer shoes like loafers? Or is it going to start to look goofy?

Trucker Jacket Fit
Hey all, I'm looking to get the Canvas Levis Sherpa Trucker Jacket. I was able to try it on in person at the store yesterday. (I should have taken photos, but I was in a rush and didn't think about it)
(https://www.altitude-sports.com/products/levis-type-3-sherpa-trucker-jacket-mens-llll-lvs-16365-0158)
I tried on the Large and it overall felt too big (my gf who was present sort of agreed with me) around the torso. So I tried on a medium and it fit much better - I could still close the jacket and I felt like I could probably even layer up a thin sweater under.
If I had my arms at my sides, the sleeves went down to just past my wrist bone, so the fit seemed fine. However, when I lifted my arms up ahead of me horizontally, or did that and bent them alt the elbow, the wrists went back quite a bit (about past my watch). If I held my arms up to my sides horizontally, the wrists sat fine.
My question is, is this normal for a jacket with that cut? I feel like the large is going to be a hefty tailoring cost as I'd have to not only bring the torso in, but might also have to shorten it.

Sweaters
Looking for some suggestions for sweaters that are a little nicer than a hoodie, but not like all the way into Cardigan territory. Mainly looking for styles, not necessarily specific pieces.

Shoe colours that match skin tone
I found a pair of moccassin suede loafers that feel like they'd be great for summer. They're a light brown, but they're -almost- matching my skin tone. Should I steer clear or would it work out ok? I'd be wearing sockless (no show).

Love minimal white leather sneakers, but...
I love Minimal white leather sneakers, but my main issue with them is in the summer my feet get way too hot in them - even with my usual merino wool socks. I've heard canvas is a good alternative, but the only canvas shoes I know of are Vans and I feel like I could go with something a bit better quality.

Basic T-shirts
Hey, looking for some basic t-shirts. I have a bunch of the Uniqlo standard ones (Not the oversized nor the airism ones) and while they're nice for the quality, I have two issues:
1) The color bleeds on a lot of them, so you end up with large sections of them that look like they've been stained (they have not)
2) They tend to shrink vertically, so the end up too short for me.
I'm 6', 198lbs (currently down from 220 earlier this year and continuing). I tried Simon's Le31 and they seem decent, though a bit heavier than what I'm used to. Mainly just want some that fit well and are breathable. Any brand recommendations?
