Thank you cc1. We thought it might be Burtons but couldn't see the connection with Monty. Could you enlighten us, please?
1. Sir Montague Burton was the founder of Burtons Menswear, hence 'Monty' (as distinct from actor Richard Burton!)

Interesting snippet: "1945 - Burton produces the demob suit for war veterans, nicknamed 'The Full Monty,' it incorporates a suit, shirt and tie. At this time Burton was estimated to be clothing about one-fifth of the British male population."

Thank you very much for your explanation, johnalex, and for the "snippet". I remember well the demob suits- two of my brothers wore them. Brings back memories. Thanks again.
