15 C is nice n warm!

Does your riding jacket have any vents?
If so make sure they are closed, or if its perforated leather it would probably be best to just invest in a textile jacket.
Even with a proper liner in the jacket perforated leather jackets can be real cold.
The textile jacket could also double as rain gear for you depending on which jacket it is.
Then textile pants will also keep your legs nicely warm if you wear jeans under them.
You can find nice winter riding gloves from a few companies.
A round up of some winter gloves here,

Otherwise it's all about the layers, miks summed it up nicely.
And another thing you could always look into if you plan on riding in even colder weather, is heated gear.
