Geoff:
They are extremely old-fashioned nowadays; you might only find someone quite elderly 
and quite "proper" wearing them. They are very much associated with golf and I think the 
idea is that the wearer tucks them into his socks just below the knee so that the trouser 
bottoms don't catch in anything - bushes or similar.
