Oswald's Light-Colored Jacket
Izraul Hidashi:
Can anyone answer why the heck Oswald needed a jacket on a sunny Texas afternoon, while he was already wearing a long sleeve flannel? Does that even make sense to anyone ... anyone with common sense?
And why would he ditch his jacket after killing a cop? Was he worried someone might identify him as the killer? So I guess keeping the gun and dumping the shells for cops to find wasn't much to worry about, but the jacket.... Oh no... that was the incriminating piece of evidence to be worried about, right? ::)

Common sense, huh... I recently schooled you on the fact that it was only 50°F in Dallas that day, and pointed out that a number of people were wearing overcoats, jackets etc. along the motorcade route. And a baggy-sleeved jacket (according to Buell) would be a good choice for those wanting to limit the profile of a 34.8" lunch/curtain rod/rifle bag.
Wearing a jacket would cover up the revolver and getting rid of said jacket would be a no-brainer since there were a number of citizens eyeballing the little prick sporting a revolver and wearing a jacket @Tippit
And if anyone knows if mystery guest #2 demanded that he be given a jacket to wear in the lineups, feel free to speak up.
Maybe the CT JAQing League of Fence Sitters can ask that question as well.

“34.8 inch bag”. LOL.
How does a baggy-sleeved jacket “limit the profile” of a bag carried under the arm, anyway? And isn’t the story that he got a jacket after leaving work?

So no more need to “cover up the revolver” after shooting a cop? Good one.

"Common sense" :D
Being "schooled" by Chapman. :D Right.
Bill Brown:
Mrs. MARY BROCK, 4310 Utah, Dallas, Texas, advised that on the afternoon of November 22, 1963, she was at the Ballew Texaco Service Station located in the 600 block of Jefferson Street, Dallas, Texas. She advised that at approximately 1:30 PM a white male described as approximately 30 years of age; 5 feet, 10 inches; light—colored complexion, wearing light clothing, came past her walking at a fast pace, wearing a light—colored jacket and with his hands in his pockets.
Approximately five minutes later two individuals from Johnny Reynolds Used Car Lot, 500 Jefferson Street, appeared at Ballew's Texaco Service Station, making inquiry as to whether she had noticed the young white man come by the station. She indicated she had, at which time they informed her that this individual had in all probability shot a Dallas police officer. She advised she informed them that the individual proceeded north behind the Texaco station and she last observed him in the parking lot directly behind Ballew's Texaco Service Station.
Mrs. BROCK was shown a photograph of LEE HARVEY OSWALD, New Orleans PD 9 112723, dated August 9, 1963, which she identified as being the same person she observed on November 22, 1963, at Ballew's Texaco Service Station.
Mrs. BROCK advised at the time she saw OSWALD on November 22, 1963, she was unaware of the fact that President JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY had been assassinated, and she was unaware that Dallas Police Officer J. D. TIPPIT had been shot.
