Get a navy P-coat. Dark blue wool down to mid-thighs. Wonderfully warm, even at -30F.

And mittens are better than gloves at that sort of temperature. "Chopper" mittens in leather are trés butch.

And thermal underwear (aka longjohns) allow you to stand around in regular jeans whilst giving the impression that the cold doesn't bother you. Very manly.

It's an entirely new category of drag to add to your wardrobe!

Beards, strangely, don't seem to help much with the cold. I've heard it speculated that they are actually better for wicking sweat in hot climates. Note that eskimos don't have beards.
