Product Information
Full details
These DILLING trousers are designed for active children needing comfortable, durable, and temperature-regulating bottoms. The key benefit is their soft Merino wool construction with reinforced knees, making them ideal for everyday wear from playdates to school. A potential consideration is that wool requires specific care to maintain its properties.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, Merino wool offers excellent insulation. For extremely cold conditions, they can be worn as a comfortable base layer under additional protective outerwear.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
The size is indicated as 5-6 years (UK). Refer to standard children's sizing charts if you are unsure, and consider your child's current size and growth rate. The elasticated waistband and drawstring offer some flexibility.
Can these trousers be worn all year round?
While particularly practical for spring and autumn, their temperature-regulating properties make them suitable for cooler days in summer and as a layer in winter.
Is Merino wool itchy?
DILLING uses fine Merino wool, which is known for its softness and minimal itchiness, even for sensitive skin. The cozy inner lining further enhances comfort.
What is the benefit of the reinforced knees?
The extra layer at the knees provides added durability, protecting against wear and tear from crawling, playing, and frequent kneeling, thus extending the garment's lifespan.
Can I wash these trousers in a regular washing machine?
Yes, but only on a delicate or wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C, using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high temperatures and aggressive spin cycles.
What does 'terry trousers' mean in this context?
In this context, 'terry' refers to the soft, fleecy texture of the Merino wool, similar to the loops in terry cloth, providing a cozy feel.
Troubleshooting
Trousers appear to have shrunk after washing.
Merino wool can sometimes shrink if exposed to high heat or aggressive washing cycles. Ensure you are following the 30°C wool wash setting and avoiding the tumble dryer. Gently reshape the trousers while damp and lay flat to dry.
Fuzzy or pilled appearance on the fabric.
This is a natural characteristic of wool fibers, especially with friction. Reduce friction by washing inside out and using a wool-specific detergent. Gentle pilling can often be removed with a wool comb or fabric shaver.
Trousers feel less soft than before.
Harsh detergents or fabric softeners can strip the natural lanolin from wool, making it feel less soft. Use only wool-specific, gentle detergents and avoid fabric softeners. Reshape and dry flat, avoiding direct heat.
