Is a leather jacket + layers good enough for an European winter? (Back packing)
score:5
It should definitely be enough but you should take the warm jacket with you just in case.
But you can judge yourself. Temperature Averages in Paris in November are about 7°C (41°F) and it can be quite rainy (15 rainfall days in december as seen on holiday-weather.com). A rainjacket is advised, but depends on your personal preference. If you don't mind holding your umbrella, then of course you don't need a rain jacket.
In the other places the temperature will probably be similar or a bit higher (up to a 10°C/50°F average in sicily's december.) with similar rainfall days.
Keep in mind that these are the average temperatures and it can get colder than that.
I live in Switzerland, where it can get quite cool in November/December and on a cold day, a tshirt, hoodie and warm jacket keep me warm. But then again, you are probably used to warmer temperatures, so a layer more won't hurt. If you can easily take the warm jacket, then do it, because it does get chilly, especially if you plan on visiting "mountain-y areas".
Better be safe than sorry, so pack the warm jacket also and test whether or not you need it.
Have a good and warm time in Europe.

Yes!
Understand that having properly shaped clothe is MUCH more important than the quality.
In cold weather, a jacket must protect you from the top of your throat to the bottom of your hip. A basic rain coat matching this rule is better than a $1000 fur coat 5 cm too short.
Your wool and Tshirt should also go as low as possible.
Seriously, 3 layer of summer clothe matching those rule are OK for mild winter (down to freezing point) (with good gloves and shoes)
That said, December in southern Europe is not too cold. If you keep away from the mountain and eastern France, you shouldn't get below 5°C.
Rain jacket and waterproof shoes highly recommended. A 5°C rain is worse than -5°C snow.
Sorry if I sound like Captain Obvious to some. I assume you've never saw winter
