I'm quite fed up with the bureaucracy and creeping privatisation of UK higher education and I've started looking elsewhere. So I've just been shortlisted for a junior faculty position in a humanities department in Germany. I'm really unfamiliar with that environment. What's the standard, suits or flannels and sportcoats? A friend suggest me to go with this Leather Coat. But I'm not sure it is appropriate attire. Any other recommendations for the interview?

I'm pretty sure suits are universal for formal interviews. But, to be safe, I suggest a lederhosen.
