Hypersensitivity to formal clothing

Hello!

I can't stand the satiny texture of the interlining in suit jackets, the texture of neckties, and the texture of formal leather shoe insoles.

For my thesis oral exam/presentation I turned up in a cotton shirt, black jeans and fabric plimsolls and it wasn't an issue for anyone.

I have an interview coming up for which I have to wear a jacket and tie.

I'm convinced I'm going to flunk this interview. It hurts so much to touch this texture. It really is indescribable. Torture. Nobody can understand. 

I don't think I'll ever find a job. If only they'd drop the smart dress requirement. This will ruin all prospects for survival.

It's too late for this interview but if you know where I can purchase a suit, tie and formal-looking shoes without the silky feeling kindly inform. It might come in handy in the future.

Thank you
