Picked up the Nashbar Derby Jacket on sale ($36) just before Christmas. What an unbelievable good deal for a quality jacket that's proven very comfortable on rides in the 30's. On colder days, I would use a heavier base layer and a light polar fleece shell/shirt.
I'd like to buy one more, except this jacket is currently $70. Still worth it, when you consider other jackets of this quality cost over $120.
