LYLE & SCOTT: "William Lyle and Walter Scott founded a new knitwear company in the traditional manufacturing centre of Hawick on borrowed capital in 1874. Like Pringle, they moved from a concentration on fine-knit hosiery and chunky outerwear to the modern wardrobe of twinsets, sweaters and sportswear during the 1920s and 1930s.In post-war austerity-ridden Britain, Lyle and Scott, like other Borders cashmere specialists, promoted their exports extensively in the United States. By 1954, Lyle and Scott embarked on a more ambitious collaboration with Christian Dior. A range of relatively simple but novel day-to-evening sweater designs – featuring scoop, square and collared necklines with low-key quirky details – were produced with a plain script ‘Creations Christian Dior’ label, again, principally for the North American market."Courtesy Vintage Fashion Guild Label Resource
