For over 200 years, Johnstons of Elgin have been manufacturing cashmere and fine woollen products from their mill in Scotland. Wingtip has partnered with Johnstons to stock, 365 days a year, cashmere essentials that every gentleman should own: a classic navy cashmere V-neck sweater and a timeless black cashmere turtleneck.
LAVISH A LITTLE LOVE ON YOUR FAVORITE THINGS
It only takes a little extra care to make sure your Johnstons of
Elgin cashmere keeps its trademark softness for many, many years to
come.
WEARING YOUR CASHMERE FOR THE FIRST TIME
When you first wear your new garment, you may find small balls of
fibre or "pills" forming on the surface. These are not a fault or
indication of inferior quality but are simply loose fibres tangling
together where the garment has been rubbing. They can easily be
removed by hand, with a cashmere comb or a de-fuzz-it device. Once
removed, your garment will actually consolidate and become
softer.
HANDWASHING AND DRY-CLEANING
Cashmere knitwear can be hand washed or dry-cleaned. We recommend
hand washing your knitwear following these simple guidelines and
dry cleaning woven items such as scarves or blankets.
Hand wash in luke warm water (35°C) using Johnstons Cashmere Shampoo. Gently squeeze the suds through the fabric, taking care not to rub the garment too much as this may cause shrinkage and increase pilling. Rinse the garment in cool, clean water, squeezing gently without twisting or wringing. A short light spin in a spin dryer will help remove most of the water.
Smooth the garment back into shape, gently coaxing any facings or trims back to the correct size, and dry naturally away from direct heat such as radiators and sunlight. Ideally the garment should be dried flat on a clean towel. When dry, press lightly with a cool iron.
Under no circumstances should the garment be tumble-dried.
Following these instruction, your garment will preserve its shape and luxurious touch for many years - the hallmarks of the very best cashmere.
