Forgive me, r/HeritageWear, for I have sinned

I did a Very Bad Thing and bought a TCB Fat Cats Faded S40s jacket. It comes already faded / distressed, and I love it. I have a couple of type 2 jackets I'm working on fading myself, but really wanted a type 1 to go with my Samurai Year of the Dragon (pictured), which I've been wearing non-stop for 5 months now. I got the jacket new(!) from a seller in Japan, for less than $200 including shipping, so a good deal.

Slubby type 1 or 2 recommendations?

Hey friends, can anyone recommend a slubby type 1 or 2 jacket that has the following:

  1. Higher, slimmer armholes than traditional;
  2. Slightly longer body than traditional;
  3. Bonus points for handwarmers, but not a dealbreaker if not available.

I tried the Omoto slub-nep type 2 (pictured), and it's a gorgeous jacket, but the armholes were too wide for my skinny arms. I have a TCB type 2 and that cut is excellent for me, but they don't do a properly slubby version.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Full listing here

This is a crazily beautiful, massively textured jacket from Japan, which retails for $365. Note this jacket has hand warmer pockets!

My sizing notes: If you are a US Medium / Large this should fit you perfectly if you just wear a t-shirt with it. If you are a US small / medium you should be able to layer a hoodie comfortably. But most importantly, see pics for measurements! 

$240 with free US shipping if bought direct with Paypal or Venmo F&F

  • If video what style: N/A
  • What features do you absolutely need: Mainly used indoors. I'd like something fairly easy to use which produces great images for my website. I am not planning to really take up photography as a profession / hobby, so don't need to consider upgrades etc.
  • What features would be nice to have: For the camera to look retro / cool! (I know...)
  • Portability: Anything works
  • Cameras you're considering: Sony Alpha A6300 for price and ease of use, Fujimax x-??? for warmer pics (I know nothing but this is what the internet told me!)
  • Cameras you already have: Just an iphone
  • Notes: I'd like the price to include a lens if possible. If not, recommendations for a good cheap lens for my fashion photography would be really helpful! Thanks!

If possible I'd like to buy the camera on ebay, as I have a credit on there. I like the retro prettiness of the fujimax cameras, but have no idea which models would work for me. Any other suggestions very gratefully received! Thanks again!

First pic was when I'd just bought them, the rest are from today. I bought these new in January, and have worn them pretty much daily since then. I work partly in an office and partly not. These have seen a lot of snow-shoveling, yard work, muddy labor, dog walking, tree climbing, travel, etc. I've even done yoga in them. Just over three months and plenty of washes later, they're staring to show some wear. Samurai are one of my absolute favorite brands for all the obvious reasons, and I love this medium-slim straight cut. These started soft and now feel like butter. Bonus dogs included in pics.

I know this is a hot model right now (because it's impossible to find in my size in the US). You can still get sizes 4, 5, and 6 (L, XL, and XXL) from Flaneurs in France. They ship worldwide, and are a wonderful heritage wear store, tucked away in the sleepy city of Rennes (in Brittany). I visited them recently, and they are really great people with a superb range of brands and fits, so if you're ever looking for something that's sold out everywhere else, try here.
