I understand that the British permit retired members to continue to wear their uniforms post retirement provided there is the addition of an embroidered "R" patch to the epaulettes or sleeves to indicate the wearer's status. This seems like a good solution to me.

The "R" has always represented officers on the Reserve List, not retired.
