FAQs
Are these suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, 100% merino wool offers excellent insulation and warmth, making these long johns ideal for cold weather when worn as a base layer.
Can I wear these without anything over them?
While they are comfortable enough for lounging, they are designed as a base layer and may be too thin or revealing for wearing as outerwear in most situations.
How often should I wash my merino wool long johns?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often wear them multiple times between washes. Washing only when necessary helps preserve the fibers and their natural properties. Airing them out is a good alternative.
What does 'without a fly' mean?
This means there is no opening or flap designed for restroom use on the front of the long johns. You will need to pull them down.
Will the elastic waistband be uncomfortable?
The waistband is designed to be soft and visible with a logo. It aims to provide a secure fit without digging into your skin.
Are these machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C. However, they should not be tumble dried.
Troubleshooting
Long johns feel tight after washing
Merino wool can sometimes shrink slightly if washed or dried at too high a temperature. Ensure you are following the 30°C gentle cycle and laying flat to dry. If slightly tight, wearing them can help them regain their shape.
Pilling on the fabric
Some pilling is natural with merino wool, especially during the initial wears. This is cosmetic and does not affect performance. Gentle washing and avoiding abrasion can minimize pilling over time.
Odor persists after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is thoroughly rinsed. For stubborn odors, a longer soak in cold water with wool detergent may help before re-washing.
