My coat is kind of out dated but I have nice sweaters. Would it be acceptable? Plus its cold out.

Ive rocked these to all my interviews, without a tie. Button down shirt with a sweater.
Although, I think it really comes down to do you look presentable. Any company that would deny you because you didnt have a sport coat on probably sucks to work for in the first place.
I'll see if I can authorize it.
depends on what type of job it's for I would say. To me the type of job dictates acceptable attire for said interview.
You're fine with the sweater / tie combo. Add a cummerbund if you're feeling under dressed.
probably not a christmas sweater this close to valentines day.

If you really want the job you should "dress" the part

Sweater vest, you are after all an engineer.

Go for it.
Ask whoever granted you the interview what the dress code is.
Sure...if you are going for the Ozzie Nelson lookQuote:

Your hesitation is probably your good instincts kicking in.
How bad do you want the job?Quote:

Just so we are all clear, pants will be worn?
This totally depends on the job. I wear a suit to work about two days per month. But if someone showed up to interview with me and did not either (1) wear a suit, or (2) call me, ask if I'd like him/her to wear a suit and hear me say "Hell, no, we only wear suits when we aboslutley have to," I would have serious qauestions about either (1) their judgment or (2) how badly they wanted the job, and I'm not hiring people who have bad judgment or who don't really want to work here.Quote:

FWIW (not much) I've been managing NE teams for quite a while, and what I'm ultimately looking for is someone that is capable of more than the position for which I'm hiring ...
Always dress for your 'next' job.
Also, the east coast / west coast thing couldn't be more true ...
