Start with the thing CINQUE does that almost nobody else does: the modular suit. Jackets and trousers are sold as separate pieces in separate sizes — typically €230–300 for the jacket and €100–150 for the trousers on cinque.de — so a 52 jacket over 50 trousers is a normal order, not a tailoring job. Around it sits the 9 TO 5 programme, a mix-and-match business capsule for men and women designed to interlock across seasons, which makes repeat orders to the same German address genuinely useful. The womenswear line runs blazers, blouses, dresses, skirts and coats with the brand's Italian-leaning cut, and menswear adds shirts (from about €60, typically €90–100), knitwear and Bermuda tailoring in summer. Everything is priced in EUR with 19% German VAT included, and both the men's and women's sale sections cut past-season tailoring hard. Build a full look in one or two orders, let it gather at your German address, and quote the consolidated box before you ship.

CINQUE uses German sizing, and its modular system is the practical fix for the classic suit problem: the jacket and trousers are separate products in separate sizes, so you don't compromise one to fit the other. For menswear, German tailoring sizes run roughly 46–56 — as a rule of thumb, subtract 10 to get the UK/AU chest size in inches (a German 50 is about a 40-inch chest). Womenswear runs German 34–44; Australian sizing tracks UK sizing, so a German 36 is roughly an AU 10 and a German 38 an AU 12 — but treat conversions as a starting point and check CINQUE's own size chart, which the shop publishes with measurements. Because returning from Australia means paying international postage yourself, the smart play is to measure a jacket and trousers that already fit you, compare against the chart, and use the modular split to solve shoulders-versus-waist instead of hoping one size does both.

Here's the arithmetic that makes this route work. Buying direct, cinque.de charges Australia a €60 flat shipping fee on every order — fine for one big basket, painful for anything bought in stages. To a German address, CINQUE ships free. So the play is: send everything to your Resendify address, let us hold it (free for up to 60 days), and pay for one weight-based international leg instead of €60 per order. Tailoring is forwarding-friendly cargo: a shirt is around 0.3 kg, trousers half a kilo, a blazer just under a kilo, and a full two-piece suit around 1.2–1.5 kg packed — flat, dense pieces that don't trigger big volumetric surcharges the way puffy outerwear does. A wool coat is the exception at 1.5–2 kg with more bulk. Couriers bill the higher of actual versus volumetric weight, so we pack tailoring flat and tight. Run your basket through the calculator above for a live band, and remember: one box also means one GST calculation, not several.

CINQUE's return terms are clear and worth reading before you buy. You have 14 days from receipt to send items back, refunds are processed within 14 days of the return arriving, and there are no exchanges — only refunds, so a size swap means a fresh order. Within Germany a prepaid label costs €6, deducted from the refund; international return shipping is explicitly the customer's responsibility. From Australia, that means paying your own postage back to Germany and staying inside the window — rarely worth it for a €120 pair of trousers. So treat CINQUE orders as near-final and let the brand's own system work for you: the modular suit sells jacket and trousers in separate sizes, which removes the most common reason suits get returned, and the size chart publishes real measurements. Measure a jacket that fits, compare, and order once. If something arrives visibly wrong or damaged at our warehouse, flag it through your dashboard while the parcel is still in Germany — options are always better before the box crosses the equator.
