Suit (clothing)

A suit is a set of clothing that is usually used for formal occasions or for the workplace. It is derived from the French word "suite", meaning "to follow," which is itself derived from Late Latin. Common components of a suit are a tie, a suit jacket that buttons up, dress pants, loafers, and sometimes a vest.

Usage
Members of the United States Federal Government frequently took to wearing suits, which also led to government agents sometimes being referred to as "suits."

Big Boss, during his command of FOXHOUND, wore a suit, although he also wore a trenchcoat over it.

In 2014, an aged Solid Snake wore a suit when visiting Arlington National Cemetary shortly before meeting up with Roy Campbell regarding his new assignment to assassinate Liquid Ocelot, and later wearing the suit again when returning to the cemetary to commit suicide to ensure that he does not become a bioweapon before meeting Big Boss for the final time. Liquid Ocelot, due to his running the PMC mother company Outer Heaven, frequently wore a business suit, taking off its top just prior to encountering Solid Snake on Outer Haven for the final time. Roy Campbell during this time also wore a suit.

During the PMC Maverick's mission to an African country to rebuild the country after a devastating civil war, the Maverick employee Raiden, when not undergoing immediate combat, and while meeting Prime Minister N'Mani, wore a business suit with a yellow tie. He immediately discarded it when the Prime Minister's escort was ambushed by several cyborg soldiers owned by the PMC Desperado. N'Mani himself wore a suit, due to his status as the Prime Minister.

Behind the scenes
The suit was an unlockable uniform in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. In order to unlock it, the player has to complete the game once. It is the game's equivalent to the recurring Tuxedo. The outfit itself was based on an outfit Snake wore during the flashback in the beginning of Act 1, Liquid Sun, and what he wore in the Epilogue: Naked Sin and Naked Son. Misc
