I live in Scottsdale AZ and bought a tan linen Hugo Boss suit for the summer months. The pants were accidentally stained beyond repair and now I still want to wear the Jacket. What color and type of slacks can I pair with this?

Orphaned coats should not really be worn in such a way - they look exactly what they are - orphans.

If you must, then jeans only.

meh...on something like tan linen you could swap out the buttons and I bet you would have trouble telling it was orphaned.

Depends on the pocket style. If the op's jacket has patch pockets, it would be indistinguishable a tan linen sportcoat.

It would be the same as the trousers from a grey flannel suit: it doesn't matter if the jacket is gone, or still in service - the trousers can be correctly worn with tweed jackets in either case.
