Default Could that be someone other than Foley White in the white border tobacco cards, T206???

Sorry, guys, I'm not seeing the similarities. The color is roughly the same, but other than that everything I notice is different.

Collar style: White has a spread collar; Thebo's looks more like the rim of a bowl.
Placket length (the part that buttons on the front, for those of you who don't live with a seamstress): Thebo's goes much further down.
Number of buttons on placket: White has four; Thebo shows only four, but there's one hidden by his arm.
Belt width: It's hard to see White's, but if it were as wide as Thebo's it would likely show up.
Outer sleeve length: White's are longer
Inner sleeve length: White's are longer (OK, these two might be a question of fit rather than style)
Cap: Hard to tell because White's is so dark, but the proportions look different (bigger bill, less of a beanie shape).

Just stirring the pot,

Bill
