^^ I think management made a right call though. His shirt was wrinkled and even looks unwashed, with badly done up tie and top button undone. Same story with his trousers. Speaks a lot about his attitude.
And considering how you guys get so excited over 1 curled collar...

It really depends.
I think that if he was a very brilliant candidate, particularly someone very early in their career, then there's an opportunity to mould him into an outstanding worker, who you can influence into dressing well.
I remember the scene in The Pursuit of Happyness [sic] where Will Smith's character is at a job interview with no shirt on and he's asked what he'd say if someone hired him dressed the way he is and he says, 'He must have had on some really nice pants!' If you haven't seen the movie, it's worth watching.

Or it could speak a lot about his priorities. Maybe he is so focussed on his work he doesn't have time to worry about irrelevant things like ironing his shirt. Not the kind of guy you want meeting clients perhaps (depending on who they are), but who wants a dandy in the back office?
Speak for yourselves! If our political leaders have curled shirt collars and do a good job of running the country I could care less. If they come on SF and start pretending to be an authority on clothes, then that's another thing.

Problem is that he wasn't even trying to be neat let alone actually well dressed. There's a difference between ill fitting and not trying at all - one is ignorance and the other one is apathy. It's going to be client facing too so not a back office job.
