Geschichte
Founded in 1874 by William Lyle and Walter Scott in Hawick, Scotland, the company initially focused on fine-gauge knitted underwear. It gained international recognition in the 1960s through its golf apparel, which was worn by professional athletes. During the 1980s, the brand became a staple of the football casual movement in the United Kingdom. This transition from sportswear to street fashion established its enduring role in British cultural history and contemporary menswear.
