Story & heritage
Johnstons' move into knitted garments accelerated after it acquired the Hawick mill in 1980; the Jessie shows how far that knitwear language has evolved. On the official page the brand describes it as a crew-neck open-front cardigan with exposed seams and a centre-back split, giving a traditional cashmere layer a more architectural finish.
Materials & craft
The Jessie is knitted in Hawick from 2-ply pure cashmere. Johnstons highlights the exposed outer seams, the centre-back split, and the lighter fluid handle that comes from the 2-ply construction, all of which make it drape more like an easy jacket than a buttoned pullover.
How to choose & style
It works best as a soft replacement for a blazer: over a fine tee, a tank, or a shirt, with the front left open so the seam work stays visible. Pebble brown keeps it in the house's natural, quietly luxurious register.
