If I ever pitch something someplace that's known to follow that rule, I'm showing up in a tuxedo.

Nah, man, you've got it all wrong:
Only if it's evening, please...
Scottish Highland dress may apparently be worn in daytime formal events and in the evening - and usefully contains a dagger (a sgian-dubh).
Correct, if it's a daytime interview he should wear a morning coat with a matching waistcoat, striped trousers, and a long tie or optionally an Ascot.
And a top hat!
That's daytime formal, but it's arguably closer to white tie (tailcoat). Another option is the stroller - charcoal coat with peak lapels, waist coat, striped or check trousers.
Also, just a 1980s power suit could be a fun approach.

The bigger the shoulder pads, the better!
Not a real 1980s suit otherwise!

According to Cringely's "Accidental Empires", Andy Bechtolsheim did that very thing when pitching the fledgling S.U.N. Workstation to IBM :
