FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
Yes, it is excellent as an insulating mid-layer under a waterproof or windproof jacket during cold winter weather. As a standalone outer layer, it's best suited for milder temperatures.
How do I know if I'm choosing the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, typically based on children's height and age. For this specific product, the size is listed as '10', which usually corresponds to a specific height range for children.
Can this jacket be worn by both boys and girls?
Yes, the design is unisex, making it suitable for children of any gender.
What makes merino wool different from regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer and softer than traditional wool, making them less itchy and more comfortable against the skin. They also offer superior moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties.
How often should I wash this jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can be worn multiple times between washes, especially if aired out. Wash only when necessary, following the specific care instructions for wool.
What does 'wool terry quality' mean?
It refers to the knit structure of the fabric. Wool terry has a smooth outer surface and a soft, loop-like (fuzzy) inner surface, providing extra warmth and a plush feel against the skin.
Can I use a regular washing machine?
Yes, you can use a regular washing machine, but it must be set to a gentle or wool cycle with cold water (max 30°C) and wool-specific detergent. Avoid harsh spin cycles.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears shrunken after washing.
Merino wool can be sensitive to heat. Ensure you washed on a cold/gentle cycle (max 30°C) and did not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry. If minor shrinkage has occurred, gentle stretching while damp might help slightly. Avoid this in future washes.
Jacket feels itchy.
DILLING uses high-quality, fine merino wool which is generally not itchy. Ensure the care instructions were followed, as improper washing can affect the fibers. If itchiness persists, consider wearing a thin base layer underneath.
Zipper is difficult to close or open.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
Jacket has an odor after wear.
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. If an odor persists after wearing, ensure it is washed according to care instructions. Airing the garment out thoroughly between wears can also help reduce odors.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your DILLING Merino Wool Terry Jacket:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the wool fibers.
