BETEX Große Größen

Oldest Specialty Store in the City in Schöneberg

Betex is located at Martin-Luther-Straße 21 in Schöneberg, a few steps from Nollendorfplatz and Winterfeldtplatz; bus M46 stops at Motzstraße. The establishment describes itself as the city’s oldest specialty store for plus sizes and is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary. Some time ago, Betex moved within the same street, just a few meters from its old location, where the store had been for decades. The store can be reached by phone at 030 2132929. The surrounding area is suitable for everyday life and not touristy, with cafés and small shops, so the visit can be easily combined with a stroll around Winterfeldtplatz. The move provided the store with more space without taking it out of its neighborhood, and regular customers have followed without problems. The shop windows give little indication of the depth of the assortment, which only becomes apparent inside. First-time visitors therefore regularly underestimate the store from the outside, and precisely this discretion suits an establishment that has thrived on recommendations for five decades instead of walk-in customers.

From XL to 10XL and an In-House Tailor

Only men’s fashion is carried, ranging from XL to 10XL. Waist sizes range from 26 to 40, and jacket and chest sizes from 56 to 72. The assortment includes suits, trousers, blazers, outdoor and blouson jackets, coats, jeans, chinos, knitwear, sweaters, vests, shirts, polos, T-shirts, jogging pants, shorts, belts, suspenders, socks, bathrobes, swim trunks, underwear, and ties. The selection of suits for occasions and office wear is particularly highlighted. An in-house tailoring service is available, and the team assists with assembling complete outfits, from vests and undershirts to pocket squares and belts. For men in very large sizes, this is the most extensive selection in the city. The fact that such an establishment has existed for half a century also speaks to the demand: while other providers have come and gone, this store remains on the same street. If you need a suit for a specific appointment, it’s best to plan for alterations right away to ensure everything fits perfectly on the day. For everyday wear, a quick visit is sufficient, as shirts, trousers, and knitwear in common sizes are continuously in stock.
