Lyle & Scott Sizing & Fit Guide
Lyle & Scott is a British icon known for its golden eagle, and the question that comes up more than any other is a simple one: how does it fit? This guide covers the Lyle & Scott fit, the one line that runs slim, a full chest-measurement size chart, and how to choose.
The short answer
Most Lyle & Scott is true to size. It is cut with a classic, regular fit, so order your usual size. The one exception is the Vintage line, the gold eagle logo, which is a slimmer fit: size up if you want a regular fit or you are between sizes.
The fit
Classic and regular, with one line that runs slim. Most Lyle & Scott is cut true to size with a classic, regular fit, so your usual size is the one to order; the Heritage and Essentials ranges are cut regular and true to size as well. The exception is the Vintage line, the one carrying the gold eagle logo, which is a slimmer fit, so size up if you want a regular fit or you are between sizes.

Size chart
Approximate to-fit chest measurements for Lyle & Scott tops. Measure around the fullest part of your chest and match it to the row below. These are to-fit sizes and can vary across styles, so always check the size guide on each product page for that item's exact measurements.
| Size | Chest (inches) | Chest (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| S | 36–38" | 91–97 cm |
| M | 38–40" | 97–102 cm |
| L | 40–42" | 102–107 cm |
| XL | 42–44" | 107–112 cm |

Fit by type
Regular across the range, slimmer on Vintage. Polo shirts and t-shirts are true to size, so size up only for the slimmer Vintage line; knitwear and sweatshirts are a regular fit and true to size; and jackets, meaning the Harrington and the overshirts, are a regular fit designed to layer, so order your usual size.
How to measure
Around the fullest part of your chest. Wrap a tape measure under the arms and across the shoulder blades, keep it level and snug rather than tight, then match the result to the chart above.
