Reference point: Thermostat is set at 57F/14C with central heat and double-walled brick (no insulation).
I understand---very well, thank you very much---how physical activity changes the comfort level significantly. When I exercise [indoor, here], I just use a pair of running leggings (+ socks and shoes) to avoid overheating. If I plane or saw, I take 1-2 layers off the solutions below. But I can't spend all day doing power jumps or ripping 2x4s by hand, so here I'm interested in solutions for sitting on a chair for many hours straight, something which I can do all day

You'll note my obvious improvisation here ala "Wear all the clothes you have".
Solution #1 (The fisherman):
Feet: tennis socks + boatshoes (unsexy topsiders)
Bottom: Underwear + Long underwear + insulated overalls
Top: Tshirt + technical button-down shirt + big fisherman's sweater
Solution #2 (The hockey dork):
Feet: tennis socks + boatshoes (unsexy topsiders)
Bottom: Underwear + Long underwear + Hunting pants (~ thin jogging pants) + Baggy inline hockey pants
Top: Long underwear + Hockey Shirt + Fleece jacket (optional)
Solution #3 (The English professor):
Feet: tennis socks + boatshoes (unsexy topsiders)
Bottom: Underwear + Long underwear + Corduroy pants
Top: Tshirt + Dress shirt + Sweater + Suit jacket (all I need here is some leather elbow patches

Based on comments by C40 and 7wb5 (I think), I'm contemplating buying a snowsuit or an insulated coverall because "it's a lot less clothes"... so
Proposal #1 (The Freezer worker):
Feet: tennis socks + boatshoes (unsexy topsiders)
Under: Long underwear top and bottom

... problem here is that I'm not sure about the temperature rating. The link is rated for 10F... but I presume that's someone being moderately active. And maybe, like with sleeping bags, it's not clear whether the rating is "barely survives while wearing all your clothes" or "comfortable" or "center of the sun".
