I don't own a winter coat actually. I've never found one that fits without looking silly. Plus, I'm frequently nursing or pregnant, so fitted coats don't work.
I have Gramma's cape. Wool and angora, she spun the yarn, then knitted and felted it into fabric. Warmest outerwear I've found, covers everything, and easily snuggles a baby. Plus, it's a glorious deep red color.
For extreme cold - silk stockings, split bloomers, wool socks, water proof leather boots, silk slip, a wool skirt, one or two under skirts, long line bra, silk under shirt, turtle neck, sweater, cardigan, heavy full coverage apron, an extra tichel or two, the cape, a large, snuggly shawl, a large scarf, and lined wool mittens. I was toasty warm with that in wind chills in the -25* range.
That being said, in normal winter, skirt, slip, tights, bloomers, socks, undershirt, normal shirt, sweater and shawl or cape are plenty warm.
