I have seen one company where the owner specifically told job seekers not to wear a suit, if they still did, then they couldn't follow directions. Whenever I open my airplane shop I intend to do the same. If durring the interview I see a puddle of oil and start to clean it up, you had better be helping, not worrying about your clothes.
Still, jeans for an interview is not acceptable, even if it is just a "meet", etc.

I must have missed the "24" part, I agree with eatsleep and makes my previous comment even more important.
