The Lyle & Scott Tipped Polo Shirt is an original dressers style from the golden era of one-upmanship, golf gear & golden eagles.
There aren't many clothing styles out there that can claim the same heritage as the tipped polo shirt. Originating as a style worn for playing polo in, hence the name, the polo shirt really rose to prominence courtesy of Ren_ Lacoste in the 1930s. However, when it comes to the humble polo shirt it will always be about the subcultures. Subcultures that have changed the map of Britain since the 1960s. The Mods, the Skinheads, the Rude Boys &
the Casuals have all put their own spin on the classic tipped polo shirt whether it was worn with a pair of Dr. Martens and rolled up Levi's or a pair of Borg Elites and Lois Cords. These associated looks & youth cultures have remained key to the tipped polo shirts' ever growing popularity. If there's one original Casual brand that will always have a strong affiliation with the polo shirt it's Lyle & Scott and these latest tipped polo shirts from the Golden Eagle brand really are the business.

Lyle & Scott rose to prominence on the working class terraces of the UK throughout the late 1970s & early 1980s. A far cry from the elitist golf clubs, where memberships came with secret handshakes and year long waiting lists. Golf wasn't exactly a sport you associated with tear ups on the terraces but neither was tennis. It was all about sportswear, which unlike nowadays, was traditionally sold in sports shops. The old school style sportswear stores with walls of tennis rackets, snooker cues, dartboards and trophies. It was these stores that gave birth to trends like polo shirts & V-neck knitwear courtesy of Scottish golf brands like Lyle & Scott. The tipped polo shirt became synonymous with golden eagles & one-upmanship courtesy of the dressers and their passion for golfing gear.
