1980s Lyle & Scott Wool Sweater | Polka Dot Turtleneck, Made in Scotland
A striking piece of late 80s/early 90s Scottish knitwear, crafted by Lyle & Scott during their royal warrant era. This beautifully made sweater features a soft, slouchy turtleneck / cowlneck and an artful mix of textures: a bold polkadot panel, asymmetrical layout, and subtle tonal contrast for a refined look.
Made in Scotland from a cozy soft wool blend knit, it carries the prestigious “By Appointment to H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh” label — a mark of quality reserved for manufacturers with exceptional craftsmanship.
The silhouette is relaxed without overwhelming, with ribbed cuffs and hem for a clean finish. A perfect statement knit for anyone who appreciates thoughtful design and heritage construction.
