It's unauthorized and apparently you're not getting the job - they probably look at you like a goofball.

Really? I saw a few Marines and Sailors when I went for the LAPD Oral Board. It was recommended during the Oral Prep if we still had em, wear em. Must not be with all Departments though.

I kept my field jacket. Plus one dress (green) uniform. Never wore either one since retiring. Everything else gone.

Yes, really.
You should know this.

Wear of the Uniform by Army Retirees and Veterans
Wear of the Uniform by Marine Corps Retirees and Veterans
Wear of the Uniform by Navy Retirees and Veterans

I've been out for over 30 years, and it hasn't changed.

My DH wears his old BDU/ACU pants when he is doing outside work or fishing. I use my crossed pistols (insignia) on my denim jacket; I earned them and they look good.
