I'm just on the unfortunate border between regular and tall:  Regular pants are fine, until I sit down.  Long pants are usually too long, or all the length is in the crotch rather than at the ankle, and then it fits funny.

I ordered the long size on these pants, and they work for me, at least if I'm wearing shoes.  (Just a guess, but if you always need the long size, then they may not be long enough for you.)  It's a little big in the waist, which isn't uncommon for me, but not a problem I have with my other Lee-brand pants.  So if they've sagged down a little because the waist is too big, and I'm not wearing shoes to get another half-inch or so of height, then the hem drags on the floor.

These are kind of lightweight, so they'll be fine for warmer weather, but I doubt that anyone would want to wear them in the snow.

Also:  Have these designers ever tried to use their pants pockets?  I walked next door earlier today, and spent half the time wondering if my house keys were going to fall out of the shallow pockets.  Functional pockets are not just for men!
