Founded in 1874 in the Scottish Borders town of Hawick, Lyle & Scott began as a high-quality knitwear manufacturer, leveraging the region’s expertise in woolen garments. The brand's identity became deeply intertwined with the world of golf in the 1960s, a move that introduced its now-signature golden eagle logo, and it was awarded a Royal Warrant from The Duke of Edinburgh in 1975 for its craftsmanship. While maintaining its connection to sport, Lyle & Scott was simultaneously adopted by various British subcultures, from the Mods of the 60s to the football 'Casuals' and indie music scenes of the 80s and 2000s, who were drawn to its clean-cut polos and jumpers.
