1. Plus fours

   Plus fours are breeches or trousers that extend four inches (10 cm) below the knee (and thus four inches longer than traditional knickerbockers, hence the name). Knickerbockers have been traditionally associated with sporting attire since the 1860s. Plus fours were introduced in the 1920s and became popular among sportsmen—particularly golfers and game shooters—as they allowed more freedom of movement than knickerbockers.An "extravagant, careless style that fit right in with the looser fashions and lifestyles of the 1920s", plus fours were introduced to the United States by Edward, Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII), during a trip in 1924.They were later brought back to prominence by the professional golfer Payne Stewart who wore them on the PGA Tour (active years 1982–1999).In 2008, plus fours were featured in André Benjamin's Benjamin Bixby clothing line, which was based on clothing worn by Ivy League athletes in the 1930s.Less known are plus twos, plus sixes, and plus eights, of similar definitions, but varying lengths.

1. Plus fours

   Plus-fours are breeches or trousers that extend 4 inches below the knee. As they allow more freedom of movement than knickerbockers, they have been traditionally associated with sporting attire from the 1860s and onward, and are also particularly associated with golf. Less known are plus-twos, plus-sixes, and plus-eights, of similar definitions. An "extravagant, careless style that fit right in with the looser fashions and lifestyles of the 1920s," plus-fours were introduced to America by Edward, Prince of Wales, during a diplomatic trip in 1924. They are often seen on golf courses, and frequently worn with argyle socks, silk neckties, and dress shirts/sweaters. Some plus fours even came as complete suits. They were later brought back to prominence by the professional golfer Payne Stewart who wore them on the PGA Tour. The fictional comic book character Tintin was also usually seen wearing them. Plus-fours are featured in André Benjamin's Benjamin Bixby clothing line, which is based on clothing worn by Ivy League athletes in the 1930s.
