I am so confused.. What is the material of your suit (pants included) that allows you to throw it in the washing machine? Your suit should be wool.

1. I use to wear a suit and tie eveyday to work. You know how often I washed my suits? Once a season. Granteed, I rotated 3-4 different suits a season. Over dry cleaning will dramatically reduce the liftetime of your suits. Unless you're rolling in mud for work, you should be fine. Try to stay away from cig. smoke. Also, if I remember correctly in YVR, only a few dry cleaners had o site facillities. Fletchers is decent.

2. Try lightly steaming your suit in the shower. Meaning, take a shower, leave the suit hanging in there while you're showering.

3. Even if its a simple suit like a pure black suit, you'll never be able to match pants to a blazer. Why? Well for the same point you brought up. Chances are, the pants will be newer than your blazer and not to mention, it is just near impossible to get the exact same fabric. Having said that, I would assert most people in Van wouldn't be abe to spot the difference. Hell, most people wear suits with sleeves that are way too long. Asians in generals, also seem to wear suits that are just too big for them. When I used to work for Harry, they hated buying a 34 short for examle.. Always insisted on a 36R Lol
It was literally a 8 inch drop! And NO, these guys were not athletic in the least.

4. I like BR for budget minded folks. As someone pointed out, its around $360 on sale and even cheaper at outlets (not sure). An additonal bonus: They don't sell their jacket and pants together which allows you to grab a few pairs of extra pants. I think this is your best bet. ask yourself, will you be keeping your jacket on the entire working day? Probably not if you're in car sales. Guarantee you'lll always be wearing pants.

5. How soft a suit feels is not indictive of quality nor longevity. Actually, if you selected a exotic Loro Piana fabric, it may even be more sensitive and not 'last' as long.

TLDR:
End of the day, find a wool suit that fits you the best. Have it tailored. Use the dry-cleaners once a seaons unles you have crazy stains. Do not mix pants with jackets if they're not meant to be.
