FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for active wear?
Merino wool is naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature-regulating. It keeps you warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm, and it draws moisture away from the skin to keep you dry.
Are these long johns suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for its softness and fine fibers, which makes it less likely to cause irritation compared to traditional wool. It's a good choice for children with sensitive skin.
How does the jacquard technique benefit the fabric?
The jacquard knitting technique creates a denser and more compact fabric. This results in increased warmth and durability, making the long johns ideal for cold weather and active use.
Why is there extra room at the front?
The design includes extra room at the front to provide a more comfortable and accommodating fit for boys.
Can these be worn as outerwear?
While they have a nice pattern, these are designed as a base layer. They are intended to be worn under other garments for warmth and protection.
How often should I wash these long johns?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so frequent washing is often not necessary. Wash only when visibly soiled or when the odor-resistant properties diminish. Airing them out can often refresh the garment.
Troubleshooting
Long johns feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Merino wool is naturally soft, but improper washing can affect its texture. Try re-washing with a wool detergent and no fabric softener.
Reduced warmth after washing
Check if fabric softener was used, as this can coat the wool fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Also, ensure the garment was not exposed to high heat during washing or drying, which can damage the fibers.
Garment shrunk or lost shape
Avoid high temperatures in washing and drying. Always use cold or lukewarm water and lay flat to dry. If shrinkage has occurred, carefully try to reshape the garment while it is damp.
