I have added a gilet in the past, which helps but then it's a faff to deal with two zips to get to your jersey pockets. I never really use the pockets in the brevet jacket because as someone else said, you get a lot of condensation in there and everything ends up quite damp.
LS merino would have been warmer, but not by enough last night I don't think.

a long sleeve merino base layer will sort that out, also don't underestimate a wind blocking gilet. The brevet stuff is breathable which means wind can cut through sometimes.
