The immortal "Johnston's Stole" that raises a man's game.

Scarves and scarves warm up the neck during the chilly season, and are not only a winter protection item, but also a fashion item. Since these items are highly visible to the public as well as comfortable to the touch, it is important to choose a good-quality one. For men who are particular about scarves and stoles, the long-established Scottish brand ” Johnstons,” which has a history of more than 200 years and develops highly original products made in its own factories, would be a strong choice. In this issue, we focus on Johnstons’ stoles and introduce their charms!

What is Johnston’s?

Johnstons is a long-established brand founded in 1797 in Elgan, northeast Scotland. It began as a family business run by the Johnstons and Harrison families, and has an integrated production factory, which is rare in the UK. In addition to manufacturing high-end fabrics, the company also offers items such as stoles. In the 1980s, Prime Minister Thatcher visited the company, and in April 2008, the company received a Royal Warrant of the Prince of Wales from Prince Charles, Prince of Wales. The brand is loved not only by the British royal family but also by celebrities around the world. Although the brand started as a woolen factory, it is now expanding into knitwear, showing its challenging attitude even though it is a well-established brand.

While retaining traditional processes such as the “carding machine” and “thistle raising,” which have been in operation since the early days of the company, the company has invested in new equipment to flexibly accommodate small-lot production, enabling it to supply products of well-balanced quality and price. It is no exaggeration to say that it would be impossible for a company that outsources production to designer brands to provide the same quality at the same price as Johnston’s stoles.

Johnston’s is also famous for its exclusive sorting technology. Normally, cashmere is sold in the sorted state, but Johnston’s purchases cashmere in its raw state in order to carefully select only the delicate undercoat. This time-consuming process gives Johnston’s scarves the superb feel and expression that can only be experienced with a Johnston’s scarf.

Half the size of a large scarf fits perfectly with a dressier look

A Johnstons staple is the large-size scarf that can be draped over the shoulder. The moist texture of 100% cashmere gently wraps the body. This time, we picked up a model knitted in a compact design that does not look too bulky while maintaining the texture of such cashmere. The stylish design allows it to be worn with suits and other dressy outfits without any discomfort.

The basic size of 190cm x 35cm allows for a variety of wrapping styles and arrangements. The width is set at half that of a large 70 cm wide scarf, so it can be folded in half and worn inside a jacket for a stylish look.
