A week ago there were four tailors here, who could make a suit from scratch. Now there are only three left. At 88, tailor Tobias Enk has stopped cutting. I went to the shop to take some pictures, before the carpenter arrives:

Some of the cloths in the last photo are beautiful. You may want to buy up what he has left.

I did buy most of it, for instance the cloth on the last picture. Sadly, a lot of what he had left was only small pieces of one or two metres.
