You must have missed my earlier post, let me repost it here.
The line of argument that we can just dismiss an eyewitness because of a clothing discrepancy is absurd, from the time we are babies we first learn to recognise faces, like our mothers and fathers and as we continue to age when we first see someone we look at their face to gauge, attractiveness, emotion, etc, as they say, you make a good first impression by smiling and what a person is wearing comes a distant second, our fashion choices don't define who we are.
For example I went shopping at the local corner shop yesterday and I definitely know who served me and if I had to, I could say without reservation that that person was the one who packaged my bread and milk but if I had to recall their clothes then I simply couldn't because I had no reason to remember, much like Whaley who only remembered Oswald's bracelet because he made similar jewellery and seeing Oswald's shiny bracelet was of interest, but otherwise Oswald was just another customer.
In the following image is shown the man wearing BLACK who in and around Port Arthur killed 35 people and many eyewitnesses were face to face with this mass murderer and positively identified him and later this same man admitted to the crime.
These eyewitnesses all positively identified the same man and understandably have differing memories on the clothing colour but if we use the same criteria of throwing out eyewitnesses because of a silly colour discrepancy then we'd still have a mass murderer on the loose. And this highlights the problem with rabid JFKA CT's, outside this single case, they have no real life experience!

All of the above is irrelevant, Johnny...... Because the fact remains ...Whaley clearly told Mr Ball that his passenger was wearing a BLUE JACKET and BLUE trousers.
There are two characteristics of the man's clothing that Whaley described that do NOT fit the clothes that Lee Oswald was wearing. Lee was NOT wearing a JACKET , he was wearing a dark brown shirt, and his trousers were dark grey. The man was sitting next to Whaley on the passenger side of the seat, so Whaley would definitely have gott a good look at the color of the man's trousers....and he told Mr Ball the man's trousers were BLUE.
Mr. BALL. Did you notice how he was dressed?
Mr. WHALEY. Yes, sir. I didn’t pay much attention to it right then. But it
all came back when I really found out who I had. He was dressed in just
ordinary work clothes. It wasn’t khaki pants but they were khaki material,
blue faded blue color, like a blue uniform made in khaki. Then he had on a
brown shirt with a little silverlike stripe on it and he had on some kind
of jacket, I didn’t notice very close but I think it was a work jacket that
almost matched the pants.
And as I recall when Whaley viewed the line up he did NOT identify Lee Oswald from looking at his face....I believe whaley said something like , It was easy to ID Oswald, because he was raising hell because he was forced to attend the line up while wearing a Tee shirt and the others in the line up were wearing jackets. Since I know that you are a bit slow, Johnny, I'll repeat ....
Whaley did NOT ID Lee at the line up by loking at his face.
