unfortunately the nasty rumor you heard was true. Triminghams is no more. They bought the other large department store next door - H A & E Smiths - a couple of years back, and then went under due to poor sales & too much floor space...
You can still get the shorts at the English Sports Shop & at A.S.Coopers - neither of which appear to allow you to order online... luddites!!! I would offer you the 20 off pair that i had back when i was there but i did a ceremonial torching of the lot of them right before my departure.
I still have a blazer from Triminghams in my closet somewhere to this day. its a little snug but still wearable... :-)
but if you get the chance go shop & take lotsa money!!! the tourism industry is suffering down there BADLY!!! :-?
