This following anecdote is from this suit's owner, Mary Trewby:

"When I decided to have a woollen suit made, Mr Goldstone sent me to a textile warehouse in Victoria Street, on the first or second floor of a building opposite Elliott Street. I chose a handwoven Donegal tweed, chestnut brown with tiny specks of red, blue, pale green, orange and yellow. The suit was the classic 1930s style – single-breasted jacket with a straight skirt. It has a pleat in the back, allowing a lot more movement than with the cream shantung silk suit Mr Goldstone had made for me a few years before. The suit fitted like a glove and I wore it constantly. I was working in a male-dominated industry, and my colleagues were a little intimidated by my owning their uniform, albeit with a great deal more style!"

This suit features a slim silhouette, and details reminiscent of the sporting garments typically made in Donegal Tweed menswear, such as the arrowhead embroidered reinforcement at the pleat in the centre back of the skirt.
