It's not just you; women have been wearing men's jeans since before they made women's jeans. In fact, they're selling the "boyfriend" cut in the women's section, while "skinny jeans" were actually what resulted from marketers noticing when guys back in the '70s stole their girlfriend's jeans.
Fashion is nuts.
But mostly, we have a long tradition in the West of assuming that women are decorative and men are functional. This goes back to the actual, literal Ancient World. Look up Roman fashion. It's a long historical string of really shitty logic regarding gender roles; women are there to look good and be symbols or props, not people. "People" need warm clothing and pockets and shit. "Women" need to look fashionable. These two goals have been mutually exclusive for so long that women in any sort of functional clothing are thought of as "dressing masculine."
You won't find solid clothing for women in any retail store; everything's coming from the same factories in China, designed and ordered by the same two or three retail conglomerates (Old Navy, Gap, and Banana Republic are all the same company, for example, which is why all of their clothes are simply variations on the same product at different price-points).
Furthermore, retailers are noticing that customers will pay the same price for half-weight fabric. Even jeans that were made 10 years ago at 14oz weight are now being made at 8oz, paper-thin, and quick to fall apart.
The quality-creep is catching up with men's fashion too, but more slowly. To get regular, normal old 16oz jeans (1975's denim), you have to order from an online specialty company and pay $250 and up. They simply can't be found in retail stores anymore.
Also, beware of FAKE materials. Lots of those in-store hats and scarves are made to look like warm clothing, but don't actually work that way.
You want 100% wool, to keep actually-warm, even in the rain and snow. It's not expensive, but you have to know what you're looking for, and they're all marketed to men, even though they're just goddamned socks and hats. Seriously, what's a "men's hat?" It's a damn beanie hat. I'm wearing a hat made for men! Call the freaking drag show!
I just really hate marketing, I guess is what I'm saying.

TL;DR: women's clothes suck worse than men's, and men's clothes suck. You have to special order anything that you don't want to fall apart, have pockets, or work as advertised.
I like the second Woodlands option you listed. Not a fan of the tag on the MF one.
I just bought this Rothco hat off amazon and really like it. Not bad for $10.
