I'm sure you'll enjoy it. As an aside, anticipate that most folks will be in British shooting attire, of course, but wear what you'd wear here, particularly if you're having a fitting. When I went there I'm certain I stood out like a sore thumb as I took my canvas vest and shirt and jeans since that's what the fitting needed to accommodate. Regardless no one batted an eye and I was treated like anyone else there. Very professional staff and as I wrote previously I highly recommend it. I should make up a good excuse to go back. ... I've put on weight... must be time to be refitted  Jeremy

You are going to love it. Shooting in England for clays or birds is a great experience. Please let us know how things go. While in London go to Churchill Arms pub in Kensington for an ale and thai food and Rules in Covent Garden for a nice supper. Rules is very British and really good.

Well, everything is all arranged.
After arrival in London, a quick trip to "Gentleman's Tonic" for a proper haircut and shave, then fittings and alterations at Cording's.
We shoot at WLSS Saturday AM, and after lunch will shoot the Ripon Challenge. Still working on securing someone to video the effort.
Looking forward to meeting any double gun afficionado's in the London area.
Out there doing it best I can.

I think in plus 4's, I'd look quite a bit like Auric Goldfinger.
We'll see.
I have a few pairs of breeks, but am considering +4's for their comfort.

Cordings is nice. I have been there many times and bought a little of everything. Cordings is owned by Eric Clapton. Well, everything is all arranged.

What is the difference between plus 2 and plus 4 pants. Also, where do breeks fit in? or are breeks an all inclusive term for pants that are kind of like knickers in the US definition of knickers? Please help a old guy who shoots NIDs.

Breeks are tapered to the knee. +2's "festoon" 2 inches below the knee. +4's 4 inches below the knee. The roominess of plus 4's has not gone unnoticed by me, but, I am short, and my legs more so. So, +2's, with a generous blossum just below the knee, are my preferred shooting pants. I can adorn my extraordinarily powerful legs with my favorite stocking, and wear the finest footwear while so doing.  cough, cough It keeps everyone's mind off my shooting.
