I took a look at the pictures of RSRH in R. Klugman's bio of him 
RSRH.  In the picture on the inside cover page he appears to be 
wearing grey. In the picture on page 233 he is wearing a jacket that 
is "checked" with grey and white.  In the picture on page 287 he 
appears to be wearing black, but it is hard to tell because it looks 
as though the picture has faded.

In any event,  he is not wearing white in any of these pictures. YL
