Would You Wear Jeans to a Job Interview?

I was taught that when you go on a job interview, you should always look your best. You should wear a modest suit and conduct yourself in the same modest business manner. This shows respect to your interviewer and the company you are interviewing with, and also helps you give your best presentation. After all, a job interview is all about selling yourself isn't it?
I saw a strange face around the office today, and I automatically thought it was the son of a coworker visiting his parent. He was wearing blue jeans, tennis shoes, and a tucked in white t-shirt with a sports graphic silk screened on the front. His attire stood out, even in our small business casual office. I was shocked to find out later that he was there for an interview! I immediately assumed that he was not seriously considered for the job due to his presentation. I did not think his attire was appropriate and I thought my coworker interviewing him would find it disrespectful. I was very wrong. He was actually hired for the position. I hope this is not becoming the norm in the workplace. I find the traditional suit to be a job interview standard and I would hate to see this casual take on interview attire become acceptable.
