This cold spell has been a little annoying but I do pretty well with a coat and ski cap on the problem is wearing blue jeans, my legs get a bit cold. I don't mind wearing thermal underwear if I'm going skiing or hunting but around town I would like to buy a pair of pants so I wouldn't need them. Some of my buddies who golf wear corduroy when it gets cold but I never cared for them since the 1970s. Also I would prefer not to have wool since it can get itchy. Does anyone know of a brand of nice looking comfortable pants with a warm liner?

There are lined jeans. I see some at Costco. Duluth might have some, too.

It's cold here about 15 minutes a year. But I have some Duluth Trading firehose cargo pants with a nice lining. If you have a Tractor Supply near you....I just bet they could hook you up.
 
I have a pair of these hiking pants that are awesome. Very light weight and vey comfortable but warm as well. Come in a multitude of colors, I have a pair in khaki and forest green.

Search for MAGCOMSEN Men's Winter Pants on Amazon

I bought a couple pair of heavy wool slacks from L.L. Bean about ten years ago. Very warm, with or without nylon long johns. I used them for elk hunting in the Rockies. Hard to wear out and they'll keep you comfortable even in snow. They do have to be dry cleaned, perhaps the only drawback. About a hundred dollars a pair when I bought them, but well worth the cost.
 
I think rockquarry is referring to LL Bean's "Maine Guide" pants. I have a pair for cold weather that I like.

I also bought from LL Bean a pair of black, heavy wool pants made in Turkey that have held up well. I bought them 20+ years ago though, so they are likely no longer available. The Maine Guide pants are an LL Bean staple.

I also have some flannel lined cargos from Duluth that are quite good if you like cargos.

Get yourself some lined (either fleece or flannel) pants. Light weight and very warm. Almost every quality pants makers offer them.
 
When running the river, nothing like neoprene waders and wader shoes. If I don't have to get in and out of the boat in the water, I like coveralls. Waterproof pullover pants are great and lightweight, cutting the wind, too.

Had an old pair of lightly lined down camo pants I wore for years. Still have them, just don't seem to fit any longer. Wore those many a day hunting and fishing. I always think about the water or rain when cold or moving fast outside.

Long johns were worn underneath the pants when cold and windy. I liked the idea of sitting by a wood-burning stove, unless the cold has set in. Lucky to be from the south.
 
When I spent time outdoors in the cold, I wore longjohns. My favorites were DuoFold which has a cotton inner layer and a wool outer layer.

I also have some GI surplus woolen winter trousers. I think that they are M1952 or maybe M1955. Insanely warm without longjohns.

I'm fortunate that wool has never bothered me.
 
Don't forget a top line pair of warm sox and shoes to help out your heating problems.
They even have heated foot pads for inside your shoes now that are battery powdered, if you don't want the heated sox !!

No one should be cold now a days with all the goodies out there.
 
The old Cabela's stores carried a clothing line that was like a wool blanket material. The colors were dark green and dark grey. They had them in 100% wool and a cotton poly blend, but you had to read the label to tell them apart. So, you could mix them if desired; Wool pants & poly shirts or the opposite. that would get very warm without the itch.

As my dad entered he "Golden Years" The cold really bit him hard. He found 100% silk long johns worked best. They were slick so they wouldn't snag inside a suit. and they were thin so you didn't need a larger cut of clothing in the winter. Warning: They make terrible lounge wear! The slightest draft on the uncovered silk was like a bitter artic wind! A benefit of 100% silk of all thicknesses was that the fiber WILL NOT absorb body smells! You can air them out overnight and the next day have no odder. Polypro Longjohns have similar wicking and insulation properties but need heavy duty laundering to remove BO!

Flannel lined jeans and cargo pants at both the Cabela's and Rural King in my area. Warning - the Cabela's brand lined jeans I used to buy went away when Bass Pro took over. Now they sell Red Head. Seemed ok at first, but they have shrunk both in waist and length, and I wash only in cold water and tumble dry gentle. And no, I'm not outgrowing them. I bought 38-34's when I weighed 185. I've now worked back down to my college weight of 170, and they are shorter, and a bit tight. They are still very warm, and your experience my vary. I'd shop more at the local Rural King, but the traffic there is so bad I just avoid it.
 
Heavy weight union suit and heavy or insulated pants/overalls all winter. Also wear a hat inside when under 0 f outside. Always need to be prepared to quickly spend a little time outside, without changing clothes. Walmart used to have inexpensive fleece lined blue jeans, like wearing windproof sweat pants.

I had forgotten that I used to wear silk long sleeved undershirts. Very warm and after hand washing, they'd dry very quickly.
