Anyone else used to to purposefully dress down when meeting with IBs?

Back when in person meetings were a thing, whenever someone was coming in to pitch a book, I'd always try to remember to wear a golf shirt or a dad sweater, depending on the season. I have no idea if anyone cared, it just felt right not to pretend the 'just in case' sport coat hanging on the back of my office door ever saw daylight.
