The best way to ruin a good walk...

Depending on who you ask, figures as diverse as Mark Twain, Winston Churchill, and Oscar Wilde made the "ruin a good walk" comment in some form or other. No matter who said it, I have to nod my head in agreement. I have never, even when taking a short-lived series of lessons, been able to marshal the least bit of enthusiasm for the game of golf. I can, however, raise some excitement over some of the clothing...

Lyle & Scott, for example, has been around since 1874, when William Lyle and Walker Scott started a company to manufacture high quality hosiery and underwear. In 1926 they thankfully moved on to bigger and better things in the form of knitwear for golfers. A touch of high fashion was injected in 1954 when the company joined forces with Christian Dior to create a range in cashmere and in 1967 the firm's now famous symbol, the golden eagle, made its first appearance. Fast forward to the present, and their Vintage collection which is a very pleasing marriage of the traditional and the modern.
