Where to buy a suit in Berlin?

You could go to Patrick Hellman boutique in Berlin . I heard some good words about thist boutique ;)

Is there a particular reason you want to buy a suit in Berlin? I've always thought of the city as a great place for non-traditional fashion, but don't know if I'd seek out the place if in need of a new suit.

That said, Patrick Hellmann will certainly have some nice offerings, but his suits are a bit above the Charles Tyrwhitt / Brooks Brothers basic offerings - more in the way of BB's black fleece stuff I should think.

Otherwise, West Berlin has numerous department stores (think Peek and Cloppenburg) that will sell you a decent suit, albeit RTW.

Although the week is half over, I'll give you my 2 cents:

Patrick Hellmann is nice, but I think the cloth he uses is a bit on the light side one last year his summer collection had no suits with a more open weave like fresco. So I suspect they would wear rather warm despite their lightness. The price-point is roughly around 1500 euro, and sale-prices start at 600 euro for basic suits of his Patrick Hellmann Collection. A plus: there is a good range of sizes and even in small/slim sizes there's a fairly good selection available.

Other great stores in the vicinity are Mientus with a shop across from Hellmann on Bleibtreustrasse, Mientus Flagship on Mommsenstrasse, Soer also on Bleibtreustrasse, to houses away from Hellmann, and of course the KaDeWe at Wittenbergplatz, which has Scabal, Corneliani and Regent in the higher price range from 1000 - 3000 euro and at a level closer to Tyrwhitt the have the Windsor. line at 500 - probably 700 euro.

But my favorite is the Chelsea Farmer's Club on Schlueterstrasse, they sell only their own collection of traditionally british-style clothing. They make really great suits and sport coats with strong waist suppression, slim trouser legs, nice lapel roll (mostly 2 1/2 roll 3). Suits sell at 500 - 600 and sport coats at 400 euro. They also have the most colorful socks in town an an open bar with gin, tonic and whiskey.

I hope you still have time to enjoy my tips an wish you a nice stay in Berlin.

Edit:

There's also Herr von Eden in Prenzlauer Berg for a retro-modernist approach to suits.
