About MeTweed coat, skirt and jacket from James Murray, who also made for gents. Although the increasing popularity of readymade clothes led to a rapid decline in the number of dressmakers employed in the city from the 1930s onwards, small businesses such as Wilding and MacLeod, Farquharsons and James Murray continued to provide tailored suits, often with a no-nonsense image, for the women that still required individual fitting.
