Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Today I was dressed in a pair of tan dress pants, dress shirt, tie, navy blazer. I could quickly dump the blazer as needed and be ok. My interviewers ranged from polo and slacks to dress shirt w/cuff links and dress pants.
I’d definitely add a tie in.
Also, it can’t hurt to ask HR.

Yeah, it could. I've tried calling the HR dept in Boise. I can't imagine childbirth being more painful. Took half a day to get to the person I needed.Originally Posted by CavSct1983
Appreciate the perspective from all of you. I'm leaning towards adding a sport coat and foregoing the tie.
Honestly...a clean pair of jeans and a shirt in MOBU and I'd probably be the best-dressed guy there.

I think a tie absent a jacket is silly, but that's just me.
So I'll revisit my earlier post & suggest you wear a blazer & a tie.
Just harder to ditch the tie...

Psstt... blazer & no tie.

Now you're just F'ing with me.
It'll be your fault now if I don't get the job. I'll be so stressed over blazer/tie or blazer/no tie I'm sure to bomb the interview.

Blazer no tie, while a casual look, seems inappropriate for an interview vs a tie and no blazer. Why not compromise with a bolo tie?

Having been through this "recently", I would suggest you follow the sound advice above.
This is your one shot to impress.
If the place doesn't fit the idea of a suit, then I would go with dark slacks, button down shirt, tie, appropriate socks and dress shoes.
Dont get me started... i will start critiquing from the spread of the collar & go all the way down to where the fall is on the hem of the pant... I'm more of the 'banker casual' conservative audience when it comes to business attire for men my age & older.
I suspect small town Idaho government office is more traditional & is going to be of like mind.
Regardless, you'll own whatever you wear so wear it.
