Big 3 credit dress code

What is the dress code at S&P/Moodys/Fitch like? Group specific? When I interviewed they were wearing polos and dress shirts but that was also a Friday. I'm sure HR will fill me in but I'd like to throw some stuff on the Christmas list.

Let me expand the logic - a space suit if dealing with govies and buck naked if participating in restructuring or liquidation?
I have a friend who lives in the country, and it's supposed to be an hour from 42nd Street. A lie! The only thing that's an hour from 42nd Street is 43rd Street!
