Thatsuits

Click the Hochzeit-Anzug tab on Thatsuits' own suit page and the copy above the fold does change. A Roy Croft line about love replaces the Giorgio Armani quote sitting over the Business-Anzug tab next to it, and the opening line asks outright, "Heiraten Sie und fehlt Ihnen noch der perfekte Anzug?" (getting married, and still missing the perfect suit?). Scroll past that opening and the page stops being about weddings at all. The bulleted "Ihre Vorteile" list underneath it, more than 2,500 suiting fabrics, 2,000 shirt fabrics, 58 measurement points, a free consultation at home or in the office, is word for word the same list that sits on the Business-Anzug tab and the Smoking tab beside it. So is the price: "Anzug ab CHF 995.–" prints unchanged whether the click came from a wedding search, a boardroom or a black-tie dinner invitation. The tab changes; the template and the number underneath it don't.

None of that is a knock on the shop. It means the wedding framing is marketing rather than a different product: whatever Thatsuits builds for a groom is exactly what it builds for a client dressing for a meeting the same month, cut from the same cloth list and quoted at the same floor price. What follows is what that process, common to all 4 tabs, actually involves.

What Massanzug means here, and what it does not

Thatsuits calls its garments Massbekleidung, made-to-measure clothing, never bespoke. The distinction shows up in specifics rather than a label. The site says it takes "bis zu 58 Messpunkte" (up to 58 measurement points) and finishes garments "in Feinmass" (to a fine, fitted measurement), which describes a garment built to a client's own numbers rather than adjusted from a house block, not a hand-drafted paper pattern cut from scratch on the premises. The About page names where production actually happens: "in der Schweiz und an zwei weiteren europäischen Standorten (Deutschland und Slowenien)" (in Switzerland and 2 further European locations, Germany and Slovenia). A Thatsuits suit is measured in one of the 3 Swiss ateliers, or wherever a client happens to be, and then built across 3 countries, not sewn in the room where it's fitted.

Alterations to a finished garment run through a narrower channel than production does. The same About page states that "allfällige Anpassungen und Änderungen" (any adjustments and alterations) to made-to-measure clothing are carried out "von unseren ausgebildeten SchneiderInnen in unseren Ateliers in Zürich und Basel" (by our trained tailors in our ateliers in Zürich and Basel). Oerlikon, the third of the 3 consultation locations, isn't named in that sentence, worth knowing if a fitting happens there and a later tweak is needed elsewhere. Hire doesn't feature anywhere on the site. There's no rental page in the navigation, no "mieten" or "leihen" offer on any page checked, and no rental figure to weigh against a purchase. A groom deciding between hiring a tuxedo and buying a made-to-measure one will find only the second option here.

From first appointment to first fitting

Thatsuits publishes its process as 4 named steps on its own Beratung & Ablauf page, and the figures on it are specific enough to plan a wedding trip around. The first step is booking an appointment; the shop offers to come to a client's own office or home "ohne Aufpreis" (at no extra charge), fabric samples included, rather than requiring a visit to Zürich, Oerlikon or Basel. The second, the consultation itself, "dauert in der Regel eine Stunde" (usually lasts 1 hour) and covers choosing fabric, cut and detail, plus the 58-point measuring session.

Production is the step that sets the calendar: "Nach rund vier bis sechs Wochen treffen wir uns für die erste Anprobe" (after roughly 4 to 6 weeks we meet for the first fitting). That's the figure worth planning a wedding date against, not a guess rounded from something vaguer. An express service exists for a tighter deadline, and the site is precise about when to ask for it, "bereits beim Beratungsgespräch," at the consultation itself, not after an order is already in production. What it buys is published only as a reduction, not a fixed new date: production "verkürzt sich dabei um bis zu zwei Wochen" (shortens by up to 2 weeks) off the 4-to-6-week figure above. Ask for an exact date at the consultation rather than assuming the fastest case applies to your order.

The fourth step, the fitting, is where the site stops naming a second full appointment with its own date. Once a garment is ready, Thatsuits contacts the client "telefonisch oder via E-Mail/SMS" to book the fitting, assesses the fit together, and then, "abhängig von den Anpassungen" (depending on the adjustments needed), finishes "allfällige Feinarbeiten innerhalb weniger Tage" (any fine work within a few days). Read plainly, that's 1 scheduled fitting appointment plus a short finishing window if the fit needs more than an on-the-spot tweak, not a stated second full appointment. A couple flying in for a single trip should ask directly whether that finishing work can happen inside the same visit rather than requiring a return.

What the price actually covers

The price list runs by garment rather than by occasion, and the wedding tab quotes the same floor as everything else on it: a suit, jacket and trousers together, from CHF 995, a jacket alone from CHF 725, trousers alone from CHF 355, a waistcoat from CHF 365, a coat or trenchcoat from CHF 1,195, a shirt from CHF 155. The Preise page states 2 lines worth carrying into a budget directly. "Schnitt und Details können beliebig gewählt werden und beeinflussen den Preis Ihrer Kleidung nicht" (cut and details can be freely chosen and don't affect the price), so a fuller lapel or an extra button isn't a line-item surcharge. And "Beratung, Anprobe und allfällige Anpassungen sind im Preis inbegriffen" (consultation, fitting and any adjustments are included in the price), meaning the whole process above is 1 quoted figure rather than a base price with a fitting fee stacked on top later.

Personalisation sits inside that same price too, on every garment except the Boxershorts & Co. line: a name embroidered into a jacket or blazer lining, a monogram on a shirt collar, a contrast lining fabric or decorative topstitching, a contrast collar or cuff colour. What the price list doesn't do is carve a wedding suit into its own tier. The CHF 995 figure on the Hochzeit-Anzug tab is the same figure quoted on the Business-Anzug and Smoking tabs, drawn from the same fabric range: more than 2,500 suiting cloths, 2,000 shirting fabrics and 500 coating fabrics, from mills the site names outright, Zegna, Guabello, Tallia Di Delfino and Holland & Sherry among them, in wool grades it states as Super 110's through 200's, alongside silk and cotton.

3 shops, and a site that stays in German

Thatsuits runs 3 locations rather than one, and the hours differ enough between them to matter for a booking. Zürich, on Stockerstrasse 43, closes Mondays and keeps shorter Saturday hours than its weekday ones, 10:30 to 16:30 against 10:30 to 18:30. Oerlikon, at Max-Bill-Platz 9, opens weekdays 10:30 to 18:30 and Saturdays only by arrangement. Basel, inside Hot Lemon at Gerbergässlein 22, runs the longest weekday hours of the three, 11:00 to 18:30, plus a Saturday slot to 18:00. Thatsuits GmbH states on its About page that it has produced made-to-measure clothing "seit 2004," since 2004, and names 5 people running it day to day: Markus Soltermann as managing director and head of the Zürich atelier, Marc Tschachtli running Basel, Angela Meleti running Oerlikon while also handling sales and marketing, Elsi Leiser in administration, and Rafael Stutz on social media.

One gap is worth flagging plainly for a reader planning this in English. Every page checked carries the HTML attribute lang="de-CH," and none links to an English version: no hreflang alternate, no "EN" toggle anywhere in the navigation, on any of the pages this listing draws from. A couple who wants a wedding suit consultation to run in English, rather than German, should confirm that before booking, since the site itself never says either way.

What Thatsuits sells a groom isn't a singular commission built around one wedding date; it's the same made-to-measure process, at the same starting price, that the shop sells anyone dressing for a meeting or a gala the same month. For a couple who wants a suit built to their own measurements, at a published floor price with the fitting already folded in, and who can work in German or bring someone who can, that consistency is the actual selling point. Click Hochzeit-Anzug or click Business-Anzug next to it: the appointment, the timeline and the invoice come out the same either way.
