Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Children's Merino Wool Terry Jacket in Blue (size 9-10) is designed for active kids needing versatile, breathable outerwear. Its key benefit is the natural temperature regulation of 100% organic merino wool, keeping children comfortable in transitional weather or as a warm mid-layer. A potential consideration is its specific use as a mid-layer in very cold conditions, where a more robust outer layer might be needed. Key features include a full front zipper, ribbed cuffs and hem for a secure fit, and a soft, fuzzy interior for extra comfort.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
This jacket is excellent as a warm mid-layer in winter. For extreme cold, it is recommended to wear it under a waterproof and windproof outer jacket or coat for full protection.
How often should I wash my child's merino wool jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning. Washing only when necessary (e.g., visible dirt or odor) is best. Airing the garment out can often refresh it between washes.
Can I use a regular washing machine for this jacket?
Yes, you can use a washing machine, but only on a dedicated 'wool' program with cold or maximum 30°C water temperature and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high spin cycles.
What makes merino wool good for children's clothing?
Merino wool is incredibly soft, breathable, and naturally temperature-regulating. It wicks moisture away from the skin, keeping children comfortable whether they are active or at rest, and is less likely to cause irritation than traditional wool.
How do I store the jacket during the off-season?
Ensure the jacket is clean before storing. Fold it neatly and keep it in a cool, dry place, such as a drawer or breathable garment bag. Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture. Consider adding cedar balls to deter moths.
What does 'wool terry quality' mean?
Wool terry quality refers to the fabric's construction, which has a smooth exterior and a soft, fuzzy, looped interior similar to cotton terrycloth. This design enhances warmth and comfort, providing a cozy feel against the skin.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels itchy or rough after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wash cycle (wool program at max 30°C). Avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers. Air dry flat, do not tumble dry.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently pull the fabric away. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
Jacket has lost its shape.
Merino wool can be reshaped while damp. Gently stretch the garment to its original dimensions and lay it flat to dry. Ensure it was not over-agitated during washing or tumble dried.
Pilling has occurred on the surface.
Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers over time, especially with friction. You can gently remove small pills with a wool comb or fabric shaver. Frequent washing can sometimes exacerbate pilling.
