Love The English Sports Shop in Bermuda and always make an effort to go when in town. Not surprisingly - they have great shorts!

Great blazer. One thing though. See how the buttons are floppy. That’s because the shank is so big/high that the button rises too high on the cloth and dangles. I’d take it to a tailor and have them re-sew them to lay flat which would require a specific attachment technique. My recommendation is to get a new set of metal buttons with a smaller shank that will lay closer to the fabric. See your image 2. That shouldn’t happen.

Great find, very handsome looking, and definitely Trans-Atlantic traditional. Pair it with some flannels for an "Imperial" (UK/Can) look that is about as formally casual as you can get, or some khakis for something a bit more relaxed and North American looking.
