The guy who said he wouldn't hire anyone who wouldn't wear a sport coat to dinner must have zero employees...
Actually, I have lots of employees and hire lots of folks just out of college. I interview 200 people a year and often invite them to social situations to observe them. This is a competitive marketplace for job seekers, whether they are engineers or pimps or hitmen or bank tellers. Sharp dress is essential. If the kid can't find a sportcoat, he shouldn't fret or kill himself doing so. But he needs to look as good as possible - what you wear to a pre-interview dinner fills in the blanks about you, just like how you answer interview questions, etc etc.
