Indded, that sems like a lot. However, I have bought from the Bureau many times and they are good honest people. I dont think they are trying to rip any one off, and I dont think they are marking up their clothes any more than any other retailer. They have to cover the costs of shipping the goods overseas, and then pay for the import duties, and so tey probably make less than you think on these. Plus, the price includes 15% VAT, so that money basically is going to cover stuff like Health Care, cheap education, etc. Plus, if you live there you are paid in pounds, so in some ways the cost for someone living there is actually overall less than the $240 for a similar shirt in the US. Didnt mean to take your comment too seriously, but I have heard this before, and I dont think it is fair to the retailer.

have bought from the Bureau & like you say they are good honest people. Don't tend to agree with your maths though!! if a UK retailer picks their EG peices wisely it flys off the shelves at full RRP's & is a money spinner as there is a big markup. Its the customer who is dealt the worst blow because we have to pay 17.5% on anything we buy...everything is passed onto the customer believe me. Luckilly the bureau has a website because you won't be getting many local guys walking into the store & forking out £190 for a shirt. not having a go at the bureau, just saying the customer gets a raw deal in the UK & this is why we try to source outside the uk if we can find favourable prices & have a good exchange rate.
As an example Reigning champ thermal hoodies cost £160 on the bureau....wheras in canada they are $160 canadian dollars!!! massive difference in price.

Cheers mate. Price is a no-no though. Bit confused by this one. Seen people are saying it fits smaller than most EG, but to based on the measurements I'm going to need to go way up to an XL across the shoulders and that'll give me the unfortunate EG length: http://www.thebureaubelfast.com/shop...id-work-shirt/ Does anyone have anymore fit pics? Cheers.
