jackets at interviews

A bit of a a sweaty etiquette question for you all.

I'm going to an interview and I plan to wear a boiled wool jacket (my only jacket and ca't afford another) and a smart t-shirt underneath. I always get nervous at interviews, and don't want to spend the entire time being conscious of over-heating and sweating into my jacket. I think I'll be better off taking the jacket off, but the question is: would that come across as too casual? should I keep my jacket on and suffer?

I know it's a bit trivial but if anyone has any advice/views, it would be great to hear them. Also, if there's a better place to post this, let me know please.

completely depends on the place you're interviewing at/what the job is for. I would have said a smart t-shirt is fine but if it's a law office or bank or something I would go with a shirt or blouse...or a smart dress.

The t-shirt will be fine (my sector is relatively casual in terms of business dress) but is it ok to take off the jacket? What I mean is, would it be considered poor etiquette to take off the jacket at all?
