Shop CINQUE's German tailoring.
Forward it home to Canada.

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 — so a 52 jacket over 50 trousers is a normal order, not an alterations bill. The 9 TO 5 programme extends it into a mix-and-match business capsule for men and women that interlocks across seasons, which is exactly what makes repeat orders to one German address worthwhile. Womenswear covers blazers, blouses, dresses, skirts and Italian-leaning coats; menswear adds shirts (from about €60, typically €90–100), knitwear and summer tailoring. Everything is in EUR with 19% German VAT included, and the men's and women's sale sections cut past-season tailoring hard — a strong moment to buy, since Canadian multi-brand retail rarely carries the label at all. Build the wardrobe over a few 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: jacket and trousers are separate products in separate sizes, so you never compromise one to fit the other. For menswear, German tailoring runs roughly 46–56 — subtract 10 for the US/Canadian suit size (a German 50 is about a 40R). Womenswear runs German 34–44; as a rule of thumb subtract 30 for the US/Canadian number, so a German 36 is roughly a 6 and a 38 roughly an 8 — but treat conversions as a starting point and check CINQUE's own size chart, which publishes real measurements. Because returning from Canada means paying international postage yourself with no exchanges offered, the smart routine is: measure a jacket and trousers that already fit, compare centimetres against the chart, and use the modular split to solve shoulders-versus-waist rather than hoping a single size does both jobs.

Here's the arithmetic that makes this route work. Buying direct, cinque.de charges Canada a €60 flat fee on every order — tolerable once, painful for a wardrobe built 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 one weight-based international leg instead of €60 per order. Tailoring is ideal forwarding cargo: a shirt is about 0.3 kg, trousers half a kilo, a blazer just under a kilo, a packed two-piece suit around 1.2–1.5 kg — flat, dense pieces that avoid the volumetric surcharges bulky outerwear attracts. The 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. One consolidated box also means one Canadian customs entry and one courier handling fee instead of several. Run your basket through the calculator above for a live price band before you check out.

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 Canada that means paying your own postage back to Germany and landing inside the window — rarely worth it for €120 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, 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 Atlantic.
