Product Information

Full details

These DILLING Merino Wool Fleece Trousers in Purple, size 18-24 months, are designed for infants seeking exceptional warmth and comfort. The key benefit is their natural merino wool fleece construction, offering excellent temperature regulation and breathability for mid-season or as a warming mid-layer. A slight caveat is that, as a natural, unblended material, the wool fleece may change appearance and fray over time with wear and washing, though this does not impact its functional properties. Key features include a soft, brushed fleece interior and exterior, and elastic ribbing at the ankles for a snug fit.

FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, merino wool is naturally soft, non-itchy, and hypoallergenic, making it excellent for sensitive baby skin.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The size 18-24 months is designed for babies typically in this age range. Refer to the product's size guide or your baby's current measurements for the best fit. The elasticated ankles offer some flexibility.

Can these trousers be worn year-round?

While excellent for cooler months (mid-seasons, autumn, winter) as a mid-layer or outerwear, they might be too warm for very hot summer days. Their temperature-regulating properties make them adaptable to various conditions.

Will the appearance change significantly over time?

As a natural, unblended wool material, the fleece may change appearance and experience some fraying with wear and washing. This is a normal characteristic of wool and does not impact its performance.

What is the primary benefit of merino wool in these trousers?

The primary benefit is its exceptional ability to regulate temperature, keep the wearer warm even when damp, and remain breathable, preventing overheating.

Can I use regular laundry detergent?

No, it is crucial to use only detergents specifically designed for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool and damage its fibers.

How thick is the wool fleece?

The trousers are made from a thick, plush merino wool fleece, providing substantial warmth without being overly bulky, making them ideal as a warming layer.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel less soft after washing.

This can sometimes happen with natural wool. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry.

Pilling (small balls of fiber) appearing on the surface.

Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fleece, especially with friction. This does not affect the warmth or breathability. Gentle washing and avoiding excessive rubbing can help minimize it. You can carefully remove pills with a wool comb if desired.

Elasticated ankles seem too tight or too loose.

The elastic is designed for a snug fit to keep out cold. If too tight, gently stretch the ribbing slightly. If too loose, ensure they are correctly positioned over or inside footwear. Over time, elastic may slightly relax.

  3. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

  5. Maintenance: Due to the natural properties of wool fleece, some pilling or changes in appearance may occur over time. This is normal and does not affect the garment's thermal properties. Gentle handling during washing will help minimize this.
