does personal appearence play a part in a iai grading ?
cos if it does i aint never gonna get graded as a former boss once said to me you are a scruffy c*** you could F*** up wearing an Armani suit

They seemed pretty particular about 'smart' appearance at my grading in Solihull although there was no checking of this and that. My sempai made sure my white shitagi wasn't showing too much from behind my Iaigi! I suppose its just respectful to the grading panel to make sure you are tidy and I think it puts you in 'successful' frame of mind! When I was an undergrad we had to wear a suit for our exams, especially the vivas. In addition to this, when my Father was doing his professional exams they even stipulated which pen to use (Parker fountain, black ink) and what kind of boiled sweets were allowed to be taken in to the examination hall!
