Alfred Alm was the most celebrated bespoke tailor in Denmark after the second world war. Among more peculiar style features, Alm usually cut an unpadded shoulder and was capable of making a distinct subtle waterfall effect at the point, where upper sleeve meets the shoulder - both of these features are apparent in this excellent suit. Alm closed his business around 1990 and died shortly after.
