Full details
These DILLING long johns are designed for adult males seeking comfortable, natural-fiber base layers. The key benefit is the use of organic merino wool, treated to be exceptionally soft against the skin, providing excellent temperature regulation and moisture-wicking.

FAQs
What makes this merino wool special?
This organic merino wool has undergone a 10-hour environmentally-friendly treatment to remove itchy fibers, making it exceptionally soft and comfortable for direct skin contact.
Are these suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, merino wool is excellent for temperature regulation. These long johns provide warmth in cold conditions by trapping body heat while wicking away moisture.
Can I wear these every day?
Yes, the natural odor resistance and comfort make them suitable for daily wear, especially in cooler climates. Ensure proper care to maintain fabric integrity.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the DILLING sizing chart for accurate measurements. The long johns are designed for a close fit, so selecting the correct size is important for optimal performance.
Are these machine washable?
Yes, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 40°C (104°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
What should I do if the leggings shrink?
Shrinkage typically occurs with excessive heat during washing or drying. Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely (gentle cycle, low temperature, air dry flat) to prevent shrinkage.
Can men wear these in warmer weather?
While designed for warmth, merino wool is also breathable and moisture-wicking, making it comfortable in milder temperatures for some. However, they are primarily intended as a cold-weather base layer.
Troubleshooting
Long johns feel itchy
Despite the treatment, some individuals may have extreme sensitivities. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have followed the care instructions. Try wearing them for shorter periods initially.
Reduced warmth after washing
Ensure you are not using harsh detergents or high heat in the wash or drying process, which can damage the wool fibers. Always air dry flat.
Pilling of the fabric
Some minor pilling is natural with fine merino wool over time. Use a fabric comb or shaver specifically designed for wool to gently remove pills. Avoid excessive friction during wear.
Fabric feels damp
Merino wool wicks moisture, but if the environment is extremely humid or the activity level is very high, it may feel damp. Ensure your outerwear is also breathable. Air out the long johns when possible.
