"I just ordered this in natural. It looks white in the pictures, but when you get it it's a cream color and the lines are easily seen. Waist, bottom, and hood are adjustable. Hood is attached. You can wear this jacket many different ways, and it's really waterproof! It's a little big - the sleeves are kind of baggy. But if you wear sweatshirts often that should be okay. The green adjustable cords stick out on the hood and on the bottom, but you could just snip them off.
I feel like really tightening the waist area is not slimming, but that's just me. It made the jacket look like babydoll gone wrong. I left it a little loose and the cut is more flattering. Overall, a great, functional, and stylish jacket!"
