על אלף / In dress uniform


Explanation:
I found this in Rosenthal's slang dictionary (in the singular) :

על אלף:
במדי ייצוג
(צבאי)

I don't know if this helps, hope it does.

Example sentence(s):
  • אתם צריכים לדעת שפה לא מסתובבים על אלף

Notes to answerer
Asker: In general בגדי אלף are dress clothes, but I don't think אלפות is the plural of Aleph and I can't fit it in with the other word, but thanks anyway!

neutral  Gad Kohenov: מדי ייצוג = dress uniform or regimentals. בגדי א= walking-out uniform. No relation with the question though
