Goddlefrood:

For those still wondering and unable to get to the link provided 
earlier, plus fours are trusers cut off 4 inches below the knee.

The name is due to that fact, that is that they are knees plus 4.

There used to be plus 6s and even plus 2s I believe. As Geoff said 
they are often associated with golfers, but are also popular with 
the County set, especially when a shooting party is in the offing.
