First off, if you're riding in jeans, you haven't been listening to the advice this board has been giving you. Your jeans might hold up as well as lacy panties if you ever go down on asphalt at speed. Go buy some real motorcycling pants. I have a pair of cordura (kinda like the material used in backpacks, but tougher) overpants. They're supposed to be worn over regular street clothes, so it's perfect for commuting. Windproof and virtually waterproof. I have Aerostich Dariens, but I think TourMaster has a line of cordura overpants (Cortech?) that I frequently used to see for about $140.

I'm fine with long gauntlet leather gloves. For cold or wet weather, I slip on a pair of those exam gloves used in hospitals. Buy a box and they're pennies apiece. I have to admit that my hands do get a little cold, but that's in temps in the 30-40 degree range. I wear the same pair of gloves year round, and have never felt them to be too warm/sweaty during the summer. YMMV.
