Okay, so I’m a Texan in Illinois, where they have proper winter. That is, negative temperatures. Here’s what I’ve been taught so far:

Essentially, a lot of keeping warm is about layers. Start with a base layer like the [Capiline 2](http://www.patagonia.com/web/us/product/mens-capilene-baselayer-2-zip-neck?p=44850-0-565), something I already have. Next, something like a tee-shirt, although I’m not sure whether this layer is ever left out entirely. Following that, it’s usually some sort of fleece and and a wind-breaker heavy coat, which are combined within a lot of heavy jackets. Is there usually another layer I’m missing?

Besides the arms/chest, a beanie is used, and the hoodie of the jacket if it has one. Shoes like North Face’s [Storm Summit](http://www.thenorthface.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=120826&storeId=207&catalogId=10201&langId=-1&from=subCat&parent_category_rn=11706&variationId=R60) are good because they’re not awkwardly big like boots, and they look decent, too.

As for pants, I’m currently somewhat lost. I assume I need something like [Capilene 3](http://www.patagonia.com/web/us/product/mens-capilene-baselayer-3-bottoms?p=44320-0-029), but I don’t think I can wear these directly under jeans. Do these replace or combine with normal boxers, too?
