Civilian dress as opposed to military (5)

I believe the answer is:

mufti

(Other definitions for mufti that I've seen before include "Plain clothes worn by soldier" , "Civilian gear" , "Civilian clothing; Muslim legal expert" , "Civilian clothes worn by service personnel" , "Non-military clothing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
