Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

Listen up, people. bpete has made a brilliant discovery. This is a real breakthrough in JFK assassination research. Bpete has identified the actual shirt that Oswald wore to work on 11/22/63. He's willing to state it, categorically, that he knows for a fact that the shirt you see on the right below was the shirt Oswald wore when he left Ruth Paine's house to go to work on the morning of 11/22/63.

I think all will agree that that is a major discovery, and I think it warrants consideration by the JFK research community. 

I'm a little surprised because bpete has always been very critical of my discoveries. But now, he is claiming one of his own. And he didn't express any reservations about it either. 

Well, tell me, bpete: why do you think 2 + 2 was never put together before? And he was able to glean this just from a description that said light brown. 

Well, let's look at the only color picture of Oswald's arrest shirt.

It looks pretty light to me. Look at the color in sunny spots. Couldn't somebody have described that as light?

Then you've got another problem. Marrion Baker described it as a jacket. Not a shirt, but a jacket. A light brown jacket. 

Mr. BAKER - At that particular time I was looking at his face, and it seemed to me like he had a light brown jacket on and maybe some kind of white-looking shirt.

Mr. BAKER - Yes, sir; all I can remember it was in my recollection of it it was a light brown jacket.

This is a problem because I don't think anybody would mistake this shirt for a jacket. 

No, that is clearly a shirt, and nobody was ever going to think that that was a jacket. Keep in mind that Marrion Baker saw Oswald 70 seconds after the last shot, and we don't assume Oswald changed his clothes in those 70 seconds. Nobody assumes that. 

But, what kind of shirt could be mistaken for a jacket? This kind:

Do you see the way that shirt folds over like a jacket? Isn't that a shirt that could be mistaken for a jacket by Marrion Baker? You want some more examples?

Yeah, that's the jacket Marrion Baker was describing alright and not that other shirt that bpete is pointing to. 

Listen everyone, I apologize. There is nothing to this. False alarm. bpete couldn't find his own navel in the shower. He is just spewing hot air. What can I tell you except that he is a VERY immature guy.
