Long underwear from November to March. I have a couple different thicknesses. The thin synthetic ones are good for cool days, and if it's -10C or colder I'll double up with a cotton layer overtop. If it's colder than -20C I'll throw some wool ones over the synthetic ones. That's for working outside all day though.
But layers are key, cotton, wool, and sythnetics and play around with what works best, but having options are great.

Corse wool as a mid layer keeps a lot of heat in and as others have said you always need a cap and gloves in your coat pockets. And wool socks are good two. If it's real cold I'll double them up and it's always good to have a spare pair of socks nearby if you think your feet might get wet or you could need another layer.

Carhart jackets went from cheap and out of style to fashionable hick wear in the last 20 years or so.
I never though they were very nice quality, but a lot of people love them.

So if you dont want to wear wool as a base layer for clothes why would u choose to wear them as a base layer for your feet?

Usually merino wool is soft and smooth for a base layer, but it's expensive.
Layering is so you trapping in warm air, like how insulation works in a house. I like soft cotton against my skin, and then bulkier items on top to trap the heat, and then a weatherproof layer outside. Feet are more likely to get damp, so wool is a better choice for them to stay dry, but nothing would stop you from wearing wool as a base layer, but you gotta find out what you like for comfort.
I wear wool socks year round though.

I don't like carhartt jackets for warmth. It depends what you are doing outside. If you are working out in the bush they aren't bad, but they aren't that great.
It depends on climate too. Is it going to be damp like the pacific northwest? Or dry and cold like North Dakota?

Get a jacket with a removable liner. It should be ventable too. On warmer days you can get away with just the liner. On warm wet days you can use just the exterior piece. Then when it's cold you bulk up and use it all together. I rarely use the exterior of my ski jacket, I just use the liner 95% of the year. I'm in Pittsburgh. Cold, but not super cold. When I lived in Canada I used the same jacket, but would wear a sweat shirt under it. On super cold days, -40F or so, I would double up on sweat shirts under the jacket.

Movin to the rocky mountains in western montana. Not very much precipitation but a lot of snow. Where I live right now it rains everyday so I am pretty much switching from high rain and low snow to high snow and low rain.

Calgary has very reasonably price realestate since oil shit the bed. There was a time you could make 100k a year out of highschool in Calgary. It was a golden time.

So when you just use the liner does it just look like a sweater?

The liner in mine looks kind of like a black puffy jacket. Very much like this one; https://www.amazon.com/Columbia-Mens-Jacket-Black-Small/dp/B01MYNVZ5M/ref=sr_1_43?dchild=1&keywords=winter+jacket&qid=1605236553&sr=8-43
I've had various jackets like this over the years. I would say that if you plan to do what I suggest find a jacket that has both the liner and the exterior in a style you like.
