Edit Suits

Switch the site to its Switzerland-English version and click through to the wedding suits page, and the heading at the top still reads "Wedding Suits London." The copy underneath it says the same thing outright: "our London showrooms work with you to design custom wedding and groom suits." That single unswapped word tells a groom booking in Zürich exactly what he's dealing with. This is a chain, the wedding sales page was written for its home market, and Switzerland is a market the brand has added to a system rather than built one for.

The chain itself is genuine and its Zürich showroom is genuine too. Edit Suits Co. was founded by Patrick Jungo and Reto Peter, who say on their own about page they came out of "previous careers in banking and consulting" and started the business because "off-the-rack clothing rarely fit the way it should." Their account of the company's growth is specific: "what began as a travelling tailor service soon evolved into a network of showrooms. Starting in Singapore, we soon brought the concept to Europe with the ambition of building a modern tailoring brand in the home of Savile Row." The same page names 7 markets in a single sentence: London, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Singapore and, it says, "most recently," Zürich. No opening date is given for the Zürich showroom, so none is repeated here. The address is real and specific: Oetenbachgasse 9, 8001 Zürich, with a Swiss phone line and a care_ch@editsuits.com inbox, listed alongside the UK and Singapore addresses on the site's own locations page rather than tucked away on a separate microsite.

Made-to-measure, not bespoke, plus a small ready-to-wear rack

Edit Suits is explicit about which of these it sells. Its about page positions the whole business against "the high prices of traditional bespoke tailoring" and states the goal in its own words: "we set out to make beautifully crafted, made-to-measure clothing more accessible." Nothing on the site claims a bespoke, hand-cut, paper-pattern process; a groom reading "bespoke" in a customer testimonial on the homepage ("highly recommended for bespoke suits, shirts and jackets") is reading that customer's own word choice, not the operator's. Alongside the made-to-measure line, a small ready-to-wear collection sits at fixed prices with no appointment needed: three suits were live on the Swiss site's ready-to-wear page at the time of writing, a beige linen suit at CHF 399 and two Alfred Brown high-twist wool suits, one mid grey and one dark grey, each at CHF 499. What Edit Suits does not offer, anywhere on its site, is hire. There is no rental page, no "mieten" link, and no mention of renting a suit in its own FAQ, which is otherwise a detailed page covering orders, alterations and shipping. A groom who wants his wedding suit to be his own to keep is in the right place; one weighing hire against buying will find nothing here to compare against.

The measurements, the wait, and what Zürich isn't told

Booking works through the same appointment system across every market: a 60-minute "purchase appointment" if you're ready to order, a 30-minute "browsing appointment" if you're not, or a video call if you can't get to a showroom at all. In person, the process is "over 30 measurements" taken at your fitting appointment, followed by a second visit for the finished garment: "approximately 3-5 weeks after your appointment, your garments will be ready for you to try on in-store," with the in-house tailor making final tweaks on the spot. Order online instead and the wait is "3-4 weeks" before shipping.

Alterations are where the Swiss showroom's own paperwork goes quiet. The FAQ answer on turnaround reads: "when an alteration is needed, we do this with local tailors and we aim to complete these within one week in both Singapore and the UK." Switzerland isn't named in that sentence. It may well work the same way through a Zürich-based tailor on the same one-week target, or it may not; the site simply doesn't say, so a groom on a tight schedule should ask the showroom directly rather than assume the UK figure travels. The fit guarantee is the one policy stated without any geographic qualifier: it covers "alterations or even remaking your garment within 30 days of your first delivery appointment," and warns plainly that a single alteration doesn't always settle it, "in certain cases it may take two, three or more fitting appointments which is part of the process." A refund is offered if a remake still isn't the right fix.

What a wedding suit actually costs

There's no separate "wedding" price list. The wedding suits collection on the Swiss site is built from the same fabric ladder as any other custom suit: an ES Essentials navy or midnight-blue two-piece runs from CHF 749, a Reda-fabric suit from CHF 949, and an ES Essentials black tuxedo from CHF 899. The full two-piece ladder above those runs through Moon & Sons tweed (from CHF 1199), Alfred Brown, Holland & Sherry, Vitale Barberis Canonico, Drago, Dormeuil and Huddersfield, up to Loro Piana and Hardy Minnis, topping out at Scabal from CHF 1999; three-piece versions of the same tiers run from CHF 1008 (ES Essentials) up to CHF 2598 for Scabal. Half-canvas construction with an enhanced lapel roll adds CHF 100 to any of those; full-canvas construction adds CHF 200. Tailored shirts start at CHF 129, running up to CHF 449 in Loro Piana cloth. None of these figures are quoted in a Swiss francs-specific promotion or a wedding discount; they're simply what the standard price list says, converted into the currency the Zürich showroom actually charges in.

The site backs the wedding side of the business with real customer language, even if none of it names Switzerland. On the same Swiss-market homepage a groom would land on, Alex Whatson's review reads: "really recommend Edit Suits, used them for my wedding suit and their excellent customer service throughout really sets them apart. The price was reasonable considering the high quality, and obviously the fit is perfect." It sits next to a 4.8-out-of-5 rating drawn from more than 250 Google reviews, the same figure and the same handful of testimonials the UK homepage shows. None of the three testimonials on the Swiss page mention Zürich, so treat them as evidence the wedding-suit service works somewhere in this network, not proof of how the Zürich showroom specifically runs.

For a groom who wants a properly measured suit at a fixed, published price and is comfortable being one appointment in a chain's national system, Edit Suits is a workable and reasonably priced option with a real door on Oetenbachgasse. What it isn't is a specialist Swiss wedding tailor with its own local playbook: the pricing, the process and even some of the sales copy are the same ones a groom in Leeds or Liverpool would see, with Zürich added to the location list rather than written into the pitch. Ask, before booking, whether the one-week alteration promise and the in-person consultation happen in English or German at this specific address; the site itself doesn't say.
