Which period are you going for? I'm guessing the basic men's clothing (starts on page 58) by the style of your hose? Or are you treating them as a separate layer to put paned slops over? I am not so sure about having a codpiece on the hose if slops are going on top of them, since slops also have codpieces. The "basic men's clothing" section with the hose instructions is definitely earlier 16th century, and some modifications may be necessary if you're going later.
Shirts are kind of tricky to size right. Generally speaking, you want the body to be only slightly larger than your shoulder-to-shoulder measurement, and when you gather the neckline to the collar, the sleeve-to-shoulder seam should be about on your shoulder point. The sleeves on extant shirts are surprisingly narrow, too. These instructions (PDF) provide a general set of measurements which are a good starting point for most people, although the pattern shapes she uses are kind of unusual (there are a couple extant examples of similar shirts, but it doesn't seem to be the most common).
Closures: buttons and loops work well, although they are kind of fiddly. A lot of period examples have an eyelet worked on either side of the collar and cuff, and then a cord that passes through the eyelets and ties. This is WAY easier to tie on yourself than separate ties stitched to the shirt, although those are also period.
I am super-impressed by your hose! If you don't have a doublet, I'd suggest a belt. Don't use safety pins--they don't allow enough flexing and increase the probability of a rip-out.

Do you have the link that goes into the wayback machine? I'd love to look at that. No ideas (and I'm not surprised that there's nothing SCA-ish on the topic--I've never met anyone in the SCA who binds except trans guys, who I'd guess use modern binders). I hope someone else has some ideas
Haircuts: I'm not sure about early Tudor, but late Tudor, they're generally quite short; little pointy beards and moustaches are fairly popular, but the top-of-the-head hairstyles are not terribly exciting. That's probably why there isn't much about them. Robert Dudley is pretty typical. Francis Drake, with slightly longer, curlier hair.
Long comment is long
