Everybody thinks he's Columbo, like this guy:
Oswald Was Not Wearing His Arrest Shirt in the Depository on Nov. 22nd
I was not able to make the above claim until a key piece of information
was brought to my attention. In "Oswald Did Not Wear CE 182 on 11/22/63",
I could only conclude that it would have been unusual and unlikely for
Oswald to have worn his arrest shirt upstairs, at all, since
co-workers--including James Jarman and Buell Wesley Frazier--said that he
usually worked in a T-shirt, and a plotting Oswald would not have wanted
to draw attention to himself that day by varying his routine.
I was familiar with Frazier's testimony that he did not believe that he
had ever seen Oswald wearing CE 150, the arrest shirt, and he offered that
"what shirt he wore that day I didn't really see" (v2p238). Most
helpfully, Bud posted a 12/1/63 FBI interview with Frazier, in which he
described the shirt that Oswald had worn the day *before*....
In his first 11/23/63 interview at police headquarters, Oswald stated that
he returned to his room and "changed his shirt and trousers". As noted
before, fellow depository worker Bonnie Ray Williams confirms that Oswald
was wearing grey trousers that day. Oswald said the shirt he left in his
room was "reddish" (WRp622) Mrs. Randle recalled Owwald wearing a "brown
or tan shirt" that morning. But when shown CE 150, she said that she
didn't "remember it being that shade of brown. It could have been, but I
was looking through the screen and out the window, but I don't remember it
being exactly that. I thought it was a solid color" (v2p250). Marina
Oswald thought it was CE 150, a "dark shirt", but added that "it was dark
in the room" (WRp124/v1p121).
Like the gray jacket which Frazier said Oswald was wearing to work that
morning, and which he said was not CE 162 or CE 163, the "reddish" shirt
Oswald said he was wearing has disappeared. It's not listed in the
Commission Exhibits of his shirts, CE 150-164. (Nor is the grey jacket to
which Frazier refers listed.) Strangely, however, Frazier told the FBI
that Oswald was "wearing a reddish shirt" when he drove Oswald back from
work on November 21, a shirt which could not have been CE 150, about which
he said, "I don't believe I have [ever seen it]."
That reddish shirt should have been found in Irving if Oswald did not wear
it the next day.

Ralph Cinque:
Completely wrong analysis, Don. First, when first asked, Oswald said he he only changed his trousers. "home by bus changed britches" is what Fritz wrote down.
Second, CE 150 doesn't even look like Oswald's arrest shirt, so it's no wonder that people had a hard time recognizing it.
Third, Mary Bledsoe saw Oswald on the bus before he got to his room to change anything, and she described his arrest shirt to a tee. She even observed the hole in the right elbow and the fact that it was not only unbuttoned, but the buttons were missing.
Fourth, police found his bus transfer ticket in the shirt pocket of his arrest shirt, and Oswald wouldn't have transferred it. Why? It was about to expire if it hadn't already, and he wasn't going to ride the bus again anyway.
Fifth, why would the WC lie about this? Just to claim that shirt fibers were found on the rifle? But, if he had changed his shirt, they would have found the shirt he changed out of, and they could have said they found fibers from that shirt on the rifle.
And what are you talking about? There is no reason to assume the red shirt should be in Irving. If he changed out of a red shirt at his room, it should have been found there, not in Irving. But, it wasn't found there.
Are you assuming that most of Oswald's clothes were in Irving? What for? Based on what?
Why Oswald on the 23rd said what he did about changing out of a red shirt, I do not know, and that remains a mystery to me. But, it's only a mystery as to why he said it, not that he did it; because he didn't do it. He wore his arrest shirt to work.
