It will depend on the kind of wool used, and the method of felting and or boiling used on the wool to make the fabric. Ski parkas are built for active wear and can be warmer than wool jackets if they have special high tech fibers and construction.

Is a leather or wool jacket warmer?

A wool jacket has a higher insulating value and will keep you warmer on a windless day. A leather jacket has a low insulating value (lets the heat radiate out easier) but prevents the wind from cooling your body directly (wind chill effect)However some wool jackets are tightly woven and substantially reduce wind impact as they insulate and some leather jackets have a fabric interlayer to provide insulation. In short, it depends on the jacket.
