Kuhn Maßkonfektion on Kurfürstendamm: Business Suit for the Job Interview

Kuhn Maßkonfektion’s Berlin branch is located at the corner of Fasanenstraße and Kurfürstendamm in City West. According to the company, it’s about three hundred meters from the Kurfürstendamm subway station, about four hundred meters to Uhlandstraße, and those who come by car can park in the Kranzler Eck parking garage or at Kempinski Plaza. The company behind it is older than most addresses on Kurfürstendamm. Alois Kuhn founded it in 1949 in Schneeberg, Lower Franconia; today, the third generation of the family leads it, and the former contract tailoring business has grown into eighteen locations in Germany and Austria. In the sixties, corporate clothing was added, and in the mid-eighties, the company completely stopped contract manufacturing. Tailoring continues to be done exclusively in Europe and only after an order. Fabrics come from sources including the Italian weaving mill Lanificio Carlo Barbera, Wilhelm Zuleeg, and Holland and Sherry.

From Measuring to Fitting: Prices and Process at Kuhn Maßkonfektion

For a job interview, the company offers its own business line for men and women. A custom-made suit starts at 499 Euros, a custom-made shirt at 99 Euros, plus jackets, trousers, blouses, costumes, and coats. The process consists of four steps: schedule an appointment, get advised and measured, await production, and return for a fitting. Typically, this takes four to six weeks, which must be planned for in case of a short-notice appointment. Because the fit is assessed using a basic cut and a try-on garment, intermediate fittings common in classic bespoke tailoring are omitted. You can choose fabric, cut, collar style, button material, pockets, and a contrasting lining, and a stitched monogram if desired. The suit can be bought in individual parts or supplemented with a second pair of trousers made from the same outer fabric. Advice is also given on proportions, freedom of movement, and occasion. In the meinKUHN customer account, measurements remain stored for future orders. The consultation appointment itself is non-binding and can be booked online via the store selection or by phone. The brand promise of the company consists of a single word and is simply: Fits.
