demob suit
at the end of the second world war, returning servicemen underwent a ‘demobilisation’ process at various centres around the country. as part of this process of transitioning back into civilian life, they were issued with an outfit of civilian clothing. this included a new suit, which became known as a ‘demob’ (short for demobilisation) suit. accordingly, the phrase has become synonymous with any suit that looks sufficiently m-ss-produced and out of style that no-one in their right mind would buy it themselves.
he goes to so few formal occ-ssions, the last time he did he was wearing his demob suit.
