I have been told that years ago suit manufacturers used to include 2 sets of trousers with each jacket. I have never seen this practice today and I assume it mostly ended long before I started wearing suits. That said, I'll probably wreck all my trousers long before my jackets so how do you all deal with orphans? For example:
1) Can you contact the manufacturer or thier retail boutiques and purchase a second set of pants? I've read that even if you get the same cloth/model it won't be from the same loom and might not match perfectly.
2) In the event you wreck the pants, would a simple button conversion (to say, slightly off colored horn) conceal to most everyone the orhpan origins assuming you have a staple color solid suit?
3) What do you do with your pin and chalk stripe suits when the trousers are no longer good but the jacket is fine?
