Mismatched suit creation

[MrRaves]

I just purchased a black Isaia aquaspider sportcoat at my local Nordstrom Last Chance for 90 bucks. I would like to be able to find a decently-matched pair of black pants to wear it as a suit. What should I look for to ensure a good match?

This is going to be very difficult. You'd think that it wouldn't be hard to find a match but even a very slight mismatch in color, texture, or sheen usually looks bad. Even different production runs of the same fabric by the same mill can be slightly different in color.

You might try contacting Isaia directly to see if you can find out the exact fabric so that a tailor can make you a pair.

edit: oops, just realized that it is an Aquaspider jacket. I think it is proprietary to Isaia. You're going to have to contact them to see what your options are.

Yes, that´s pretty much the only two options. It would be almost impossible to find a proper match in the stores.
