Hoping to hear back from someone on this...

I am new to Zurich/CH and I am looking for a place to buy one or two business suits that are higher in quality to H&M and less than super famous brand names (since these are usually overpriced).
Does anyone know of a good local shop or department store worth taking a look at?

also...how do you say/shop for a business suit in German? i.e. slacks, pants, jacket, trousers, 3-piece, etc.?

How much is too much?

Slacks / pants / trousers = Hosen (could never really figure out the difference between the various English words)
Suit = Anzug
2 piece suit = zwei-teiliger Anzug (can also be a "Kombination" which means a 2 pc suit where pants and jacket have different color)
3 piece = drei-teiliger Anzug
double-breasted suit = Zwei-reiher or zweireihiger Anzug
Shirt = Hemd
Vest = Weste
Tie = Krawatte
Bow-tie = Fliege
Jacket / Sport coat = Jacket or Sakko

I want to buy a xxx = Ich moechte ein (or einen) xxx kaufen.

I'm a huge fan of Massimo Dutti, good quality classic reasonable priced stuff, the man gets some good stuff there, not sure if Benetton have a good men's selection but their women's stuff is great. All good quality, and not old and frumpy, suit jackets start at 150CHF, not sure if that's your budget though...

Herrn Globus suits start at 5-600 francs.
You can get similar ranges and prices in the department stores too.

Or take a trip to a Fox Town mall or M&S in the UK

All well and good but for us good old English speakers a Weste is a waistcoat...

You could try the Strellson Outlook store - Lots of suits, shirts, and other clothes. Known brands, not just Strellson, and the prices aren't bad.

It's a bit out of the way though (next to the Bodensee).

Sonnenwiesenstrasse 21
8280 Kreuzlingen

Try Peek & Clopp in SihlCity, or the usual department stores in the town. If you are buying more than one , I would go to London. Bigger choice of style. Do you want it , Sir ? Suits you Sir.

Enjoy.

Ah, that other English.

Thank you everyone for your responses...

Lob Rockster - that price range "suits" me fine, since it's an emergency purchase (wedding this weekend but the rest of my clothes have not been shipped over from the US)

Tomcat - very useful!
A bit out of the way but might be worth it...thank you.

Thank you DaveA for the tip, oh yeah and the YouTube was hilarious...simply hilarious!
