I don't want to seem pretentious/overdressed, also is it better buttoned up or over the shoulders?
Imagine doing an interview with a prospective intern and he walks in with this jacket on his shoulders, thumbs behind his suspenders

I wonder which pockets does he use for his revolver, his whiskey and his cigarettes.

They're definitely clipped to his suspenders. His revolver closest so he can show off his gun twirling skills but he only gets to pulling it out (because he's wearing a full coat in September) before a security guard shoots him

I overdressed for internship interviews wearing a suit and tie and no one cared, but the jacket on the shoulders thing would be way too weird.

Its better to be overdressed than underdressed but this is something else. Clark Kent over here looks neurodivergent af. In a properly fitting suit (almost) nobody looks neurodivergent

My very first job interview I bought a $100 blue blazer from S&K and wore khaki slacks and timberland boots because that was all I had. The woman interviewing me commented on my "suit" and she said she was impressed.
Even being young and ignorant of fashion (as I still am) I knew I wasn't wearing a "suit" and she was wrong. I
angrily and austistically corrected her and stormed out of the interviewnodded and smiledI wore the same getup in traffic court and I was, by far, the best dressed defendant. The Judge handed me a handle of Canadian Mist and told me, "drink on, King." (that's sarcasm but I really was the best dressed person there and I objectively looked like a slob).
That was a lesson that most people don't care about how you're dressed, because they don't care. Maybe that's for the best. I dunno. My opinion on fashion is actually in flux at the moment. Some people say that the fashion industry is a Jewish conspiracy and you should just wear cargo shorts and put on a trash bag when it rains, and some people (like the specimen in the linked thread) insist on trying to emulate Don Draper.
Maybe we should accept that men don't dress like it's 1910 anymore...but that shouldn't let us justify being a slob. I don't know. It's an open issue. I'd be interested in Pizzashill's take. He's wise.

Pizza would wear a suit he grabbed from the dumpster outside krogers and a $500 pair of sneakers (he is still more fashionable than the average dramatard)

A suit and tie is at least normal, and would be overdressing in an endearing way most of the time I'd think.

You could get away with the rest of the suit, but the jacket is very dated and really has no redeeming qualities. As cringe as it is on his shoulders, it's worse when he just wears it

It'd be fine if he just wore it like a jacket, ie. outside for the weather and taking it off inside.
What's r-slurred is wearing it like a blazer, complete with suspenders.

NGL, i thought the suspenders were sorta fetch, id never wear them but I thought he pulled that part off
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
The problem isn't the suspenders themselves, it's that he's figured out that you're “supposed” to wear them under a jacket but is trying to use a raincoat as the jacket. Either get an actual jacket or just commit to everyone seeing your suspenders, wearing a long-ish raincoat indoors just makes you look like a tool.
He'd probably look good if his pants fit better and he wasn't wearing the coat like a cape.

He was only slightly weird acting as I remember. We didn't give him too much opportunity to be a character, I didn't even acknowledge the suit. I failed him for deficits in his technical responses, the other guy I was with failed him for wearing a gatorskin suit.

I interview people for jobs. Regardless of how he posed in the interview, I would absolute take note of how unselfaware this outfit is in a modern office setting. If he was a good candidate in other ways it wouldn't stop him from getting a job, but I'd be wary of him being a full-blown neurodivergent (who are terrible to work with)

When it's actually worn, not as a cape, it looks quite good. Overall it's too much for an interview but otherwise I appreciate retro fashion like this.
