That reminds me when I interviewed at AKQA I went suited and booted I was interviewed by a guy in a t shirt that was so raged and dirty that I wouldn't have worn it to do the gardening in.

I got a hint that I might have overdressed when on the way to the Interview a passer-by asked me the way to the ivy ( a very exclusive restaurant)

I once dressed for an interview, and on the way back popped into a comic book store. Inside, a guy started asking me about my little pony stuff - he thought I was the manager..
I was once going to an event in a full suit, but before that, I attended a guest lecture on my university. I was just a regular attendee, but my clothes were enough for people to think I manage this guest lecture. I was handed the keys to the lecture hall, and people would come to me with questions and issues...
The passerby probably thought you were waitstaff ;)
not in a $800 Italian suit I think :-)
