Match suit separates together?

[WatchmeWhipWatchmena]

What I'm trying to say from the title of the post, has anyone matched suit separates together so that it looks like it's part of the same suit? This question is more directed to black coloured suits for instance a tuxedo, but also for cream to white coloured suits. Is it possible to be stylish with this approach? I ask this because I can see some really nice Lutwyche (former Chester Barrie manufacturers) tuxedo jackets, and may want my own tuxedo outfit. I know Lutwyche trousers do not fit my frame at all so that's why I'm looking for different routes.

I understand that you would want the same type of fabrics, patterns, texture, weaves and all that.

It is fine to pair black tuxedo trousers with a dinner jacket in an obviously different color (e.g. ivory). I would not try to match fabrics that are the same color, however. They will look mismatched.

In general I would avoid trying to make things that are not constituent suits look like they are. It's unlikely to work.

There is an Italian concept called spezzato - using suit separates together. I think this usually looks quite bad, but when done it's usually pieces that are obviously different, not trying to create a suit by camouflage.

So I've found a really well-made tuxedo jacket at a bargain price. The jacket has a midnight blue body with subtle black pattern in the background. It has black lapels. Really soft fabrics. What I'm trying to research online is whether it's possible to make the outfit work from a separate tuxedo jacket.

I'm thinking white tuxedo dress slacks would be a great way of dealing with this. But since I live further up and don't deal with hot weather particularly that often, I may think it'll look out of place. I could try black tuxedo trousers with the silk strip on the sides, but I wonder whether it'd be noticeable to see the black being different from the jacket to the trousers.

Is it possible to get this to work? The suit jacket is of fine wool.

The attached image, is not the exact jacket I've mentioned earlier, but for visualisation sake, it looks sort of like this:

You can wear a navy blue tuxedo jacket with black tuxedo pants which didn't originally come together--it's more helpful if the side strip silk is the same texture (satin/grosgrain/etc) but can probably work either way.

Thank you for replying. Well when researching right now, it seems like the jacket that I'm looking at is technically considered a dinner jacket. Especially because the lapels are the same material as the jacket.

What's the deal with dinner/tuxedo jackets that don't have matching trousers?

I found a beautiful midnight blue tuxedo/dinner jacket - on sale - at the Hickey Freeman website. Unfortunately no matching trouser is offered, and upon inquiry I was told the fabric (Loro Piana Tasmanian 150s 85/15 wool/silk) is no longer available. So why do companies - especially trad ones...

The chances of Perfectly matching two unrelated garments in feel/texture/color and tone is second to none, in a context like this wearing a jacket thats an obviously different color, like a plain ivory jacket or a velvet textured one would work better then mismatching black on black
