In this episode, we head to Belfast to sit down with Michael and Paul, the duo behind The Bureau — a menswear store with legendary status. Founded in 1989, The Bureau began as a bold vision from two young guys who saw space for something different. Decades later, they’ve built a reputation for championing quality, heritage, and timeless style, while always keeping things fresh. We dive into an honest conversation about life in retail, the evolution of the shop, navigating tough times, and the iconic Bureau man.

This was was a brilliant listen, thank you to you and the Bureau guys. They seems like great lads. Really interesting to hear a timeline of what they stocked and when, the longer length allows you to really go into things in detail and off on tangents. Love to hear a similar one on Kafka Aberdeen.
