Where Johnstons of Elgin comes from
Johnstons of Elgin says it has been making cloth in Scotland since 1797, and that it has been “proudly Made in Scotland for over two centuries”. Its heritage page says the company has passed between only two owning families in that time, and that it created its first tweed in 1846. Its mill address is Newmill, Elgin, and its collections cover cashmere, merino and tweed, from jumpers, cardigans and coats to scarves, stoles, gloves, hats and home throws. The brand describes its style as timeless yet contemporary, drawing new ideas from its archive patterns.
What Johnstons of Elgin stands for
Johnstons of Elgin says it makes what it sells, and its product pages describe pieces as crafted in Scotland from fine fibres such as 100% cashmere. It became a Certified B Corporation in May 2023, and its sustainability pages cover animal welfare, grassland preservation, fair work and circularity. The pages we read give no certification figures beyond the B Corp status. Ownership details beyond its two owning families are not on those pages. We haven’t tested any of the products.
