Lyle & Scott is a British icon known for its golden eagle — but how does it fit? This guide covers Lyle & Scott's fit, the one line that runs slim, a full chest-measurement size chart, and how to choose.
How does Lyle & Scott fit?
Most Lyle & Scott is cut true to size 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're between sizes. The Heritage and Essentials ranges are cut regular and true to size.

How to measure your chest
Wrap a tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades. Keep it level and snug — not tight — then match the result to the chart above.
