The crinkles on the shirt aren't really visible as crinkles, no... but I think they still serve a function.
If you take the "crinkles" out, then the transition from raincoat to pants is pretty harsh, especially with all those sharp 90 degree angles.
The shadow also helps the eye to better understand the relationship between the raincoat and the arm (as in, the raincoat is further back, while the arm is closer to us). Plus, it would be rather strange if the main body of the raincoat, or anybody's shirt really, was absolutely devoid of shadow...
As for why the shadow has holes (making it a crinkle) rather than being one solid block of color, I guess that's just down to preference because both could serve the same functions as above. I actually like it this way better because it looks better if you zoom in (even though most people probably wouldn't) and because the shape of the filled-in shadow just doesn't make any sense to me with the shape of the raincoat
