Although I haven't worn this in the winter yet, when I tried it on it looked awesome. The pinstripes aren't actually white but they look good anyway. Also, there is a small set of pockets on teh inside in addition to a large media pocket. The front and chest pockets have a flap that snaps over a zipper to make sure water stays out. Based on the weight of the jacket on cold days an extra layer would probably be necessary just like a shell would.
