Lyle & Scott was founded in 1874 by William Lyle and Walter Scott, and has enjoyed a long and successful history steeped in quality craftsmanship and innovation, consistently challenging the status quo within an otherwise mature and well-guarded industry. Over the past 146 years the brand has grown from humble beginnings as a small knitwear factory in the Scottish town of Hawick, to become a globally recognised, premium British menswear label worn by individuals from all the walks of life.
