I like the suit but it seems period specific. How do you intend to use it?

(I believe solo dancing may be involved...)

The Lord @lordsuperb

I plan to wear it or use it as intended. Like a suit

Have you got better ideas? 😁

I’m not sure, I would feel self conscious about wearing it.

Is tailored clothing turning into cosplay?

I don’t want to look like an English gentleman when I get dressed.

Each to his own my friend @lordsuperb

One man’s Cosplay is another’s man’s daily wear.

Perhaps not the ideal thread for this (feel free to ignore, but preferably point me in the right direction, but I purchased a past season DB Colin blazer from the row (https://www.therow.com/gr/shop/tailored-jacket_cod49497568vx.html) and am having a hard time finding the matching pant. I'm aiming to wear the suit to my wedding, so not really looking to mix separates...

Any suggestions from the CM side of Styleforum on what to do? What's the likelihood a tailor could fashion me a pair of pants that match?

The official SF advice is that you cannot make a new pair of pants to match, or at least, not within any reasonable amount of effort, because you wouldn't be able to match the material. To turn a jacket into a suit, you'd have to have someone from The Row help you find out from the Japanese manufacturer what the exact fabric is and then, assuming a tailor in the US can order it at all from the fabric merchant (Japanese factory almost certainly works through different channels than an American tailor), he'd have to order from the same spool/run. There are minor variations between fabric runs that are almost imperceptible, but when you wear them together, it becomes visible.

Have you tried looking on ebay or one of the other sites selling NOS designer garments? I was once able to find a vest to match a suit I had that way, but that was a J.Crew suit from a large production run, not a niche item like this, so I'd be surprised if there are loose Martin pants floating around.

Official advice is what I'm looking for! Having never been in this position before I assumed it would be a long shot, but perhaps a slim possibility that the ability to near match the fabric and have a pair of trousers made would work.

I've been scouring the various resale sites and haven't had much luck, but I have some time so I won't give up hope yet. Greatly appreciate the reply!
