Joseph Abboud linen pants...

Hello All!!!!

Here's a question I cannot find the answer for anywhere I've looked; will leave it to better brains than mine:

Recently I had the good fortune to enter a store here in LA called "It's A Wrap", where they sell articles of clothing that have been gently used in the movies/on tv. It is a GREAT place to get high-end clothing cheaply. (examples: A Versace suit used once for $200; a Brioni tie with the tags still on, $32. Etc.) I had the good fortune to find a beautiful linen coat, made by Joseph Abboud, for $12! It is light blue, has peaked lapels, and is cut quite well. The tag in the coat indicates it originally came with pants. Now, this would be one lovely linen suit for the summer, if I had the pants. They didn't, so I don't! I contacted the company, and they indicated that the suit was from their line of 3 years ago, and they didn't have that pant in their warehouse. I have been looking online, around a few stores, etc. to no avail.

ANYONE out there have any ideas? I know it's probably a fool's errand, but I kinda like to find the un-findable, ya know?

Plus it would be killer to have the suit!!!!

Do advise and thanks for reading!!!

Thanks but I did that already; that's how I know it's from 3 years ago...but I appreciate the thought! Anyone else?
