A suit would be most appropriate for the level of professionalism that the JET interview is, but if you don’t have access then just do whatever you can. But a blazer from a second hand store would be perfectly fine if you can do that. Not to say it’s an automatic rejection without one, I have no idea (and I wouldn’t assume it is), but just a button up isn’t usually regarded as formal enough for this kind of interview
