Johnstons Of Elgin Johnstons of Elgin is a safe bet when it comes to investing in something made of cashmere as the label has been spinning the yarn in Scotland since 1797. This thickly ribbed 'Donegal' beanie can be worn with the cuff folded over for a snug fit or left slouchy and loose. The flecks of tonal-ecru will go with almost everything, too.
