A proud 130 year history of craftsmanship and an absolute refusal to compromise on quality has given Lyle & Scott one of the most envied reputations in knitwear. The original home of the company is in the Scottish Borders town of Hawick, where the brand built its reputation by producing authentic Scottish knitwear. The company launched its first golf clothing in 1967 with the distinctive golden eagle embroidered logo. The range was an immediate success with the professionals and consequently became a big hit with the public. In the last decade Lyle and Scott applied their craftsmanship into producing a collection for a wider market than just purely golfers. Many cultural icons such as the Arctic Monkeys, Pete Doherty and Kasabian started wearing the Lyle and Scott brand, providing an instant perception of urban chic, and the rest, they say, is history. Lyle and Scott has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the past few years into becoming a major player in the UK fashion scene. Their collections always reflect a keen eye towards relevant subcultures. Key pieces in the collection are Lyle and Scott jumpers, Lyle and Scott polo shirts, Lyle and Scott jackets, Lyle and Scott footwear, Lyle and Scott t-shirts and Lyle and Scott shirts.
