Jean fit
It looks like you do in fact need more room, the fabric bunching at the back is because there's not enough space around the waist/hips/upper thighs.

Jean fit
Need pictures that include the waistband but it looks to me like the zipper is pulling at the top. This suggests waist too small.

Buying a wool coat from an 'unknown' brand
I think 10% nylon can be a good addition for longevity in more expensive fabrics, but I would normally look for 100% wool if that's your pricepoint for something new. Around that price plastic is more likely to be filler than used for a purpose I think.

Buying a wool coat from an 'unknown' brand
ah, Yahoo Japan Auctions/mercari are options - quite a lot of us buy second hand from japan on those platforms because prices/selection are good. 2nd Street for example puts a fair chunk of it's stock up on them.

Buying a wool coat from an 'unknown' brand
honestly, depending where you are in japan (if you're in a city) it might be worth wondering into a 2nd Street and seeing what's around - for c$220 you can get a lovely coat in this style in great condition at very marked down prices if you're comfortable buying second hand.

Buying a wool coat from an 'unknown' brand
it's a raglan shoulder - I would be amazed if a Japanese retailer didn't have a black balmacaan at a similar price to this

Buying a wool coat from an 'unknown' brand
not really, it's still international shipping/border stuff from a retailer with no visible returns process and weird t&cs, fake reviews and an address that appears to be in the basement of a bar.

Could you please look at the sleeves of these polos?
I guarantee the stitching on other items isn't that neat/neater than this, it's just not in very contrasting colours. But as always if you're not happy you can return.

Could you please look at the sleeves of these polos?
With regards it not being straight, you've brought cheaper/lower QC (quality control) clothing - it's not going to be perfect. These things are made by hand by actual humans making as many as they can per hour. Some imperfection is normal.

That's how the join/seam on knits look, it's fine.

Soft, flowy, but not thin t shirt
Unfortunately not from me, my taste in t-shirts is at the thicker end of the spectrum.
