outfit

For Iceberg Slim and his contemporaries, this was a jivespeak term for the hypodermic kit used by drug addicts.

For the sake of giving examples, I'll list the categories my own outfits fall into:

• sweatsuits
• a sweatshirt and pair of jeans
• a thin long-sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans (for warmer spring or fall days only)
• shorts and a t-shirt (for summer only)

Out"fit (?), n.

A fitting out, or equipment, as of a ship for a voyage, or of a person for an expedition in an unoccupied region or residence in a foreign land; things required for equipment; the expense of, or allowance made for, equipment, as by the government of the United States to a diplomatic agent going abroad.
