Jeans and a tee-shirt.
> Why?
Because the only time I ever interviewed for a job wearing a suit (at
RIACS back in 1985), I was laughed at (literally) by my interviewers,
all of whom were wearing jeans and tee-shirts. (Luckily, they still
hired me.)

That is correct. That's why I answered my interview questions with
careful, well-thought-out answers. I didn't act like a wise-ass and I
didn't assume that they would hire me just because I was smart - even
though my advisor/future-boss pretty much assured me that I had the job
anyway and that the interview was largely a farce.
So what the FUCK does this have to do with clothing?
