i dont think its a good idea to try and match the pants and jacket from different retailers. it will be a PAIN to find the exact match. i'd say go to the department stores. figure out what fits best on you, irrespective of price, and then hit up the online shops, ebay etc to see if you can find the same suit for 300 or less. be prepared to spend 50-100 bucks on tailoring to attain an even better fit (usually hemming pants, taking in/letting out sleeves, maybe slimming pants a little etc). good luck.
Thanks a lot for the help. Yes, I definitely don't want to try matching up, but I guess that's why I'll have to go to Macy's, Dillard's, etc. I'm a 34, 35x36, so I'm very weary about someone having my size in pants. Oh, well, looks like time to get up and get out ...
