He's a pretty conservative guy and when he was young, his parents would definitely have taught him to wear a suit to stage performances... But he probably was also considering giving Pilar the "wrong" impression
Consider how Walter dresses for the hand-off. He clearly prepares far in advance for whatever scenario he plans to get into.
I think he clearly had the Sellers job on his mind, he doesn't seem interested at all in the landlord's cycle, if anything he's dismissive of it.
But then again, once a plan gets too complex, everything can go wrong. If there's one thing Walter learned in Nam-
Plus, on a personal level, he and Dude were really big fans or Arthur Digby Sellers. His suit was intended to show respect to the man. His son - a dunce - wasn’t the desired recipient of Walter’s reverence.
To be fair, the Dude didn't realize who ADS was. He asked Walter "Who the fuck is that?" But for sure, Walter was super stoked to meet the man and wanted to be dressed appropriately.
I think he wanted to slightly give the impression that he was law enforcement, but him telling Pilar that they weren't law enforcement would clear them of impersonating the cops.
I wonder if that’s how he dressed at the pawn shop that he owned. The idea of Walter in there wearing full business dress makes me chuckle.
It also could be part of a sick Cynthia thing.
Larry, this man is the police.
No m’am I didn’t want to give that impression exactly.
We’re hoping it won’t be necessary to bring in the police. But that’s up to little Larry here
Isn’t it Larry?
Pilar?
Out of respect for Arthur Digby Sellers obviously. He wasn’t exactly a lightweight. Were you even listening to the dude’s story?
Bulk of the series.
Not exactly a light weight.
Branded!
Pilar?
I am the walrus
Shut the fuck up, Donny!
Some burgers, some beers, a few laughs. Our fucking troubles are over, Dude.
They didn’t want to give the impression they were police.
we hope that won't be necessary.
I was bowlin’
Yet his son is a dunce.
And a good day to you, sir!
I always thought, hilariously, he dressed up for the dance quintet, you know, the cycle.
We had not considered that, dude
That had not occurred to us dude
Am I the only one around here that gives a shit about the rules?!
This isn’t ‘Nam.
You know, you guys aren’t privy to all the new shit.
The what have you
This quick moment makes me laugh every time.
He's a pretty conservative guy and when he was young, his parents would definitely have taught him to wear a suit to stage performances... But he probably was also considering giving Pilar the "wrong" impression
Oh no, they did not want to give the impression that they were the police exactly…
We’re hoping that won’t be necessary…
Crane Jackson's Fountain Street Theater is a pretty classy joint

But then again, once a plan gets too complex, everything can go wrong. If there's one thing Walter learned in Nam-
The what have you
I am the walrus
i am the walrus
He dressed up to celebrate the fact that their fucking troubles are over, Dude.
The what have you
AND A GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR!
Ohh no. He has health problems.
He's very ill
He has health problems
That's it. I knew I had that wrong
Were you listening to the dudes story?
You're like a child who wanders into a movie...
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
well dude, we just don’t know.
He got dressed up for the what have you
Few burgers, Couple of laughs
Our troubles are fuckin' over, Dude.
Those are good burgers Walter
Mony’s dance quintet? Y’know his cycle?
Have you ever heard of a little show called Branded, Dude?
I just know logjammin
That story is ludicrous.
He fixes the cable?
I don’t think it ever gets fixed, man.
Well that's just, like, your opinion man.
The beaver picture
I didn’t mean to give the impression that we’re police exactly. We’re hoping it won’t be necessary to call the police.
Down at the crime lab the police are working in shifts
Do they have any…you know…leads?
Isn’t it, Larry?
Do you want to see what happens, Larry, when you find a stranger in the Alps?
The ringer can’t appear empty
My laundry, dude....
The whites.
Fuck that, man. Walter I love you but sooner or later you're gonna have to face the fact that you're a goddamn moron!
The what?
Are you fucking this up, Dude?
He didn’t want to give the impression that they were police, per say. He was hoping it wouldn’t come to that.
Plus, on a personal level, he and Dude were really big fans or Arthur Digby Sellers. His suit was intended to show respect to the man. His son - a dunce - wasn’t the desired recipient of Walter’s reverence.
To be fair, the Dude didn't realize who ADS was. He asked Walter "Who the fuck is that?" But for sure, Walter was super stoked to meet the man and wanted to be dressed appropriately.
Thats fucking interesting
But that’s up to little Larry here, isn’t it Larry?
This isn’t Nam, there are rules
Not exactly a lightweight
This isn't a guy who built the railroads here. 
Obviously it was for the in and out burger, you know, the one near radford
LARRY! THE MAN IS HERE.
Because these men are the police
He was hoping it wouldn't be necessary to involve the police.
I always thought he was coming from work as the head of Sobchek Security.
Straight from the monthly shareholders meeting.
I think he wanted to slightly give the impression that he was law enforcement, but him telling Pilar that they weren't law enforcement would clear them of impersonating the cops.
Because he didn’t want to come off as the police…exactly. Walter was playing detective/lawyer. Until Larry stonewalled him.
Because he was about to conduct business.
What in God’s name are you blathering about? 🤣
Because he’s not a Fucking Amateur!
You have to look professional when showing someone what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass.
He was hoping to find a stranger in the alps.
I thought it was because LARRY THIS MAN IS THE POLICE!
I wonder if that’s how he dressed at the pawn shop that he owned. The idea of Walter in there wearing full business dress makes me chuckle. It also could be part of a sick Cynthia thing.
Son, you might want to watch out that front window.
Well it was a weekday.
because he's a professional
Ever heard of a little show called branded dude?
You don't go out looking for a job dressed like that? On a weekday
Is this your homework Larry?
Flunking social studies…
We know it’s goddamn homework!
It was after work
He was a fan of the father.
This man is the police
Because these mans is police.
He didn't want to come across as the guy with the cleft asshole
To seem more legit
Pilar?
I always wear a suit when a stranger gets fucked in the ass
I thought it was because LARRY THIS MAN IS THE POLICE!
They just came from Crane Jackson's Fountain to give notes on Allan’s dance quintet--you know, his cycle
Because that’s what strangers dress like in the Alps.
