You're absolutely right, all those firms are starting at 115,000 in major cities and more like 135k in NY and DC. You're also correct about what they value, but what I'm talking about is how appearance like that can keep you from even getting in the door at these places. I'm sure if you're editor of the law review, top of your class and clerking for a US court, you can get away with whatever you want to. However, theres also a chance that dressing and acting in such a manner could preclude you from getting that clerkship, or getting on law review. Lets be honest though, its probably not a common difficulty, as I doubt the brightest law students in the country tend to dress/act in that manner.
