It isn't common practice, but gosh darn it, it should be.

Hey, I have a great idea.....Why don't I just lend you my uniform to wear? That way the interviewers will get a chance to visualize how you will look on the line in the finest brown polyester. I could probably dig up an extra pair of Corfam shoes (10 1/2 D) and my old tan overcoat/raincoat to complete the ensemble. Just be sure to tell them that you were going for the "old school" look (tan overcoat), and I'm sure you'll be the most talked about interviewee that ever walked the halls of 802 Grade Lane.

Dude, you're as good as hired!

At Fedex, this is the appropriate attire.

That's the brother of the guy who said "Gold is 'phat'," right?

I sported a brown suit to the interview. But everyone else I met was wearing standard interview garb. It's gonna be a while before anyone has to decide what to wear to a UPS interview.

Wear whatever fits and looks good on you. I know a guy that wore brown and he was in class a month later.
