PKZ

PKZ's wedding page doesn't assume it's talking to one kind of customer. Its own copy asks the question outright: "Ob Sie der Bräutigam selbst sind, der Trauzeuge oder ein Gast" (whether you are the groom himself, the best man, or a guest), before offering a made-to-measure wedding suit paired with a made-to-measure shirt cut to match it, not the suit alone. The made-to-measure hub page a click away repeats the idea with one more name added to the list: "Ob als Bräutigam, Trauzeuge, Brautvater oder Gast" (as groom, best man, father of the bride, or guest), a 4-role version of the wedding page's 3.

That range matters because of what PKZ actually is. It isn't a tailor's shop with one address and one name over the door; it's PKZ Burger-Kehl & Co. AG, a Swiss fashion retailer registered in Urdorf, a short distance from Zürich, that sells everything from BOSS and HUGO to Eton and Polo Ralph Lauren through its own online shop for men and women. The wedding page sits under the site's own "Service" menu alongside 4 other named services, Personal Shopping, Made to measure, Corporate Wear and BIG & TALL, one occasion among several this made-to-measure department dresses a customer for, not a stand-alone product. The department itself runs from 8 dedicated fitting addresses spread across the country: Basel, Bern, Genève, Zug, Lausanne, St. Gallen, and 2 separate branches in Zürich alone. A groom booking from abroad isn't choosing between 1 atelier and staying home; he's picking whichever of 8 cities sits closest to wherever the wedding actually happens.

What gets made at any of those 8 addresses is Masskonfektion, made-to-measure clothing built to a customer's own measurements, not bespoke tailoring cut from a hand-drafted paper pattern, and not the off-the-rack BOSS or Eton suits sold elsewhere on the same site. The made-to-measure hub's own opening line calls the result clothing "die so individuell ist wie Sie" (as individual as you are), made from "Stoffe aus den besten Webereien Europas" (fabrics from the best weaving mills of Europe), credited only to unnamed "ausgewählte Produzenten mit langjähriger Erfahrung" (selected producers with years of experience). No specific mill, house or fabric brand is named on either page. The wedding page adds its own detail for the occasion itself: tweed, wool, linen or velvet, worked with a narrow stand collar or a subtle sheen on either a classic 3-piece suit or a tuxedo. Neither page mentions renting anything. Every garment on the price list is made to order and bought outright.

8 branches, and a price list printed in francs

The numbers live on the made-to-measure hub, not on the wedding page itself. The hub lists 6 garments with a starting price for each, every one prefixed "ab" (from): a made-to-measure suit from CHF 1200, a jacket alone from CHF 899, a waistcoat from CHF 399, trousers from CHF 349, a shirt from CHF 159, a coat from CHF 1300. Each figure is a floor rather than a fixed package: the cloth and detailing a customer picks, including anything wedding-specific, will move it, and neither page prints a ceiling. The wedding page itself carries no price at all; it sells the idea and routes the enquiry, and the actual figures sit 1 click away on the general made-to-measure page instead.

2 of the 8 branches get billed as a "Lounge" rather than a plain branch listing, Zürich and Zug specifically, though neither page explains what separates a Lounge from the other 6 addresses beyond the name.

2 Travelling Tailors, and a mobile number just for weddings

Book a fitting anywhere in the network and the site names exactly who a customer sits with: Mustafa Oruc and Saverio Tartamella, billed on the made-to-measure hub as "Ihre persönlichen Travelling Tailors" (your personal Travelling Tailors). The copy is specific about what that means: "eine persönliche Betreuung mit Home- und Office-Service" (personal care with a home and office service), on top of an appointment at any branch a customer prefers. Neither page states a fee for a home or office visit, or says whether it reaches everywhere the 8 branches do or only near wherever the 2 tailors themselves are based.

The wedding page narrows that further to 1 person. Its own text names Saverio Tartamella specifically as the consultant to call, with a direct mobile number printed under his name rather than a branch switchboard: 079 566 65 66. For a national chain, handing a wedding enquiry straight to 1 named person's own phone rather than a general service line is a specific, checkable choice, not a marketing line.

No day count and no fitting count, just 3 named stages

What neither page states is how long any of this takes. The made-to-measure hub's own page title names the process across 3 stages, "Beratung, Produktion und Anprobe" (consultation, production and fitting), but nothing on that page or the wedding page attaches a day or a week to any of them. There's no stated turnaround from a first measurement to a finished suit, and no count of how many fitting appointments an order actually involves beyond the 1 implied by "Anprobe" in the singular. For a couple booking flights around a fitting schedule, that's the one real gap in an otherwise well-documented department, worth closing with a call or an email to the branch before a date gets fixed.

No hire rail, and no separate line for alterations

Nothing on either page mentions renting a suit, a tuxedo, or any wedding-party garment; the language throughout is about ordering and fitting, never about a return date. Alterations get the same silence. Neither page prices an adjustment separately from the made-to-measure order itself. That could simply reflect a garment cut to a customer's own measurements needing less after-the-fact tailoring than an off-the-rack BOSS or Eton suit bought elsewhere on the same site, but the page doesn't say so, and no alteration price is published anywhere a reader can check before booking.

German and French on every toggle, never English

Every page checked for this listing, the wedding page, the made-to-measure hub, the impressum, carries a language toggle between DE and FR only, and each page's own hreflang tags confirm the same 2 languages and nothing else. There's no English version of the wedding page, no English price list, and nothing stating that either named Travelling Tailor works with a client in English rather than German or French. PKZ's general customer service line, 0848 759 759, answers Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 20:00 and Saturday from 09:00 to 18:00, but neither page says what language that desk uses either. For a tenant built around couples marrying in Switzerland from abroad, that's the detail worth settling before booking a fitting, not after.

None of that makes PKZ a poor choice for a wedding suit; it makes it a large, properly organised retailer rather than a boutique. A groom, best man, father of the bride or guest gets a made-to-measure product with a printed starting price for every piece, a named contact reachable directly, and a choice of 8 cities to book the fitting in, provided the booking itself happens in German or French and the couple asks about timing rather than assuming it. Anyone picturing a bespoke commission built from a hand-cut pattern should look elsewhere in this category; anyone who wants the whole wedding party properly measured through a business that prints its prices and answers its phone has a straightforward option here.
