About Lyle & Scott UK

Lyle & Scott is a Scottish brand founded in the nineteenth century as a knitwear maker, later closely tied to golf, and a Lyle & Scott UK discount code is most often spent on a polo shirt, a knit or a jacket. The golden eagle on the chest is the thing people recognise, and the collections behind it differ more than the logo suggests, which is worth knowing before you order.

Knitwear: the fibre decides the life of the garment

Lambswool is the brand's traditional cloth, warm and hardy with a slight halo that softens with wear. Merino is finer and smoother and sits better under a jacket. Cotton knits are cooler and hold their shape least. All wool pills where it rubs, at the underarm and the seatbelt line, and that is wear rather than a fault. A knitwear comb removes pills without damaging the surface; picking at them pulls the yarn.

Washing wool is where garments die

A warm machine cycle felts wool irreversibly, shrinking it and matting the surface. Wash cool on a wool programme or by hand, do not wring, and dry flat rather than on a hanger, since wet wool stretches under its own weight. Cotton polos are far more forgiving but still fade faster on a hot wash.

Sizing runs by letter, and fits are separate

Tops are sold small to extra large rather than by measurement, so the chest figure on the size guide is what to compare against a garment you own. Polos come in more than one cut, from a closer fit to a relaxed one, and going up a size in a slim cut lengthens the body as well as widening it. Check the fit description, not only the letter.

Outerwear and what a rating means

A quilted or harrington jacket is showerproof rather than waterproof, and neither is built for sustained rain. Where a jacket carries a waterproof rating in millimetres and taped seams, it will handle weather; where it does not, treat it as a warm layer.
