The word "Mufti" in the Army?

I recently heard the word Mufti used by an old soldier and wondered what it means and where it came from. Thx

School have "mufti days" where you don't have to wear school uniform.

Thx Square "dressing-gown, smoking-cap, and slippers," sound like me of an evening. And Jogs do the schools call it that?

Yes, they call it "Mufti Day", and the kids pay £1 to wear their own clothes for the day, and the money goes to charity.

So my pals' daughter tells me!
