Herr von Eden

Men's outfitter in Mitte with its own collection and no external brands: Herr von Eden produces tuxedos and suits in small editions of fifteen to thirty pieces. A midnight blue tuxedo suit costs 1,399 Euros, cummerbunds are 289 Euros. The Berlin boutique opens exclusively by prior appointment.

Windsor Punk from Alte Schönhauser Straße

Herr von Eden is the antithesis to an off-the-rack suit. The label was founded in 1998 by Bent Angelo Jensen, a self-taught individual who started sorting suits in a second-hand shop in Hamburg’s Karolinenviertel. He describes his style as Windsor punk, with clear influences from the twenties, thirties, and sixties. In Berlin, the boutique is located on Alte Schönhauser Straße in Mitte, between the Weinmeisterstraße and Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz subway stations. Only the label’s own collection is sold, there are no external brands, and the editions are small: only fifteen or thirty pieces are made of some models. Production takes place in Europe, with some pieces created in the in-house Hamburg atelier. The client list ranges from Udo Lindenberg, Wolfgang Joop, and Jan Delay to Linda Zervakis and Solomun. In addition to Berlin, the label operates a shop and an atelier in Hamburg as well as a location in Cologne; the company headquarters remain in the Hanseatic city.

Tuxedos, Accessories, and Visits by Appointment

For a grand entrance, Herr von Eden offers tuxedos, shawl-collar suits, and matching accessories. A midnight blue tuxedo suit made of virgin wool with lapels, cuffs, and waistband of dupioni silk costs 1,399 Euros, a complete light-colored suit from the Hamburg collection costs 2,299 Euros; jacket, waistcoat, and trousers can also be bought individually. Cummerbunds are 289 Euros, bow ties between 99 and 139 Euros. Suit sizes in the regular fit range from M or R48 to XXL or R56, plus short and long sizes; the slim fit starts at XS.
