Boure does custom, and they're expensive, but I really like their stuff.
This is what I've been using lately, on the bike they fall just below the knee, they have pockets and just plain work:

I recently picked up a pair of these also and have ridden in them three times now I think. I wear a PI "SELECT" liner short underneath and find the combination to be quite comfortable. The last ride was on a slightly chilly day and went out in these plus a t-shirt and my upper body was fairly cold by the end of the ride (finished after dark when the temps had dropped into the 50s) but my legs were still quite comfortable. Having knickers that go below your knees rather than shorts does seem to make a pretty big difference. However, I am still a little self-conscious about wearing knickers though.
Real knickers come halfway down your calves. Which isn't a knock, I'm not certain what they ought to be called.
It's getting to that time of year where you need fleece or something a bit warm and full length.

Oh, no doubt, but throwing on knickers (your caveat about length noted) and a long sleeve shirt or windbreaker is a nice solution for cool weather where a short sleeve shirt and shorts would be uncomfortable. For actual cold weather, yeah, time to dig out the fleece.

I ordered and received these this week CEROTIPOLAR, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1. They are a little pricey but man are they comfortable, they look amazing especially on a big guy, they fit high on my waist, they are high quality, and right now there is a 50 percent discount coupon, you have to read critically but you will find it and be able to get it at half price. Sadly only one coupon per order, but hey, I made several separate orders in order to get the coupon discounts
