Story & heritage
Johnstons of Elgin introduced cashmere to the business in 1851 and has sold scarves under its own marque since the 1930s, according to the brand's Wikipedia history. The Usan turns that long woven-accessories lineage into a stripped-back core piece: the official product page describes it as a minimalist scarf woven in the Elgin mill from semi-plain cashmere.
Materials & craft
The brand says the Usan is woven in its Elgin mill from semi-plain cashmere, giving the scarf a subtle surface texture rather than a flat plain weave. The finish is intentionally restrained: a border design at the ends, a warm tumbled hand feel, and self-fringe detailing around the edges.
How to choose & style
This is the one to buy if you want the house in its most understated register. Navy works with tailoring, denim, and dark outerwear without ever looking precious, and the clean surface means it layers neatly under sharper coat collars.
