Squires is the plural of squire, a word with historical and informal modern uses.
In medieval times, a squire was a young man of noble birth who served a knight, often as an attendant and apprentice in training for knighthood himself.
The term later came to designate a country gentleman or landowner, particularly in England.
In informal use, squire persists as a friendly form of address between men, especially in British English: All right, squire?
