I like my leather jacket, but find it cold at anything under 55F. The cold wind finds its way through the zippers at highway speed. I solved the problem by buying a long sleeve down filled vest at Costco to wear under my jacket. It also keeps my neck and small of my back warm.
I find my insulated leather gloves get cold after a half day of riding as well. I think the insulation gets damp from the moisture of my hands. Fortunately I keep a pair of suede deer skin insulated gloves in my tail bag and use them in the afternoon.

Rode again this morning and it was 45F and the jacket kept me warm. Commute is only about 25 minutes. My hands however got cold. I have gloves, but they are not leather. Do you have a brand of leather gloves you prefer?
