159. No person is entitled without the consent of 
the King to wear the uniform attached to any office 
after he has ceased to hold that office. Such consent 
can only be obtained on the recommendation of the 
Governor made through the Secretary of State, and 
only in cases where an officer has actually worn the 
uniform during his tenure of the office to which it is 
attached. No retired officer will be allowed to wear 
any other uniform than that which was attached to his 
office during his tenure of it. 
160. A white undress uniform has been approved 
for use in tropical countries in place of the ordinary 
(blue) civil uniform. Its adoption in any Colony is 
left to the discretion of the Governor, but if it is 
adopted the wearing of uniform (or the alternative 
dress described in Regulation 162) is compulsory on all 
occasions duly prescribed. At outdoor functions in 
the day-time officers wearing the blue uniform are 
at liberty to wear with it the white helmet worn with 
the white undress uniform. 
161. Only Governors or High Commissioners may 
wear the first class of this uniform, and they may wear 
with it, if they so desire, the cape forming part of 
the Governor's special uniform and a helmet bearing 
a plume similar to that on the cocked hat worn with 
the Governor’s special uniform. On special occasions, 
however, such as the celebration of the Sovereign's 
Birthday or the opening or closing of the Legislature, 
Governors will wear the special uniform. 
The other classes of white uniform will be worn by 
persons who are entitled, or have received permission, 
to wear the corresponding class of the ordinary civil 
uniform, . 
162. In lien of civil uniform officers may wear, on 
all occasions when uniform is prescribed, ordinary 
evening dress with black breeches (with three buttons 
and black buckles at the knee), black silk hose, and 
plain court shoes.
