Have done that, but don't anymore.

My regular day was: Feet: boots over heavy socks over lighter socks

Legs: pants over thermals and sometime a layer of sweatpants in between

Main body: hooded canvas coat over heavy sweatshirt over long sleeve shirt over thermal shirt over T-shirt. alternating layers tucked into pant layers

Head: jacket hood over sweatshirt hood over heavy winter hat.

Hands: usually bare for the work I was doing, but when I could, I put them in some fantastic mittens my brother gave me that have been nicknamed "bear vaginas".

If I got too warm, I could shed upper layers pretty easily to regulate temp, but rarely did I ever need to do more than lose the coat and sweatshirt.
