Put on suit (5)

I believe the answer is:

apply

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'put on' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'suit' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for apply that I've seen before include "Administer" , "Ask for, a position perhaps" , "Be relevant - seek job" , "Ask (for job)" , "Put in for job" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
