FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, it is an excellent insulating mid-layer for very cold weather when worn under a windproof and waterproof outer jacket. On its own, it is best suited for mild to cool temperatures.
How do I know if the size is correct for my child?
The jacket is sized for UK children's sizes. It is recommended to check the specific size chart for DILLING products or measure your child's chest and height against the provided size guide (UK size 7-8).
Can this jacket be worn directly against the skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for its softness and is generally comfortable to wear directly against the skin, even for children with sensitive skin.
How often should I wash this jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning to an extent. Washing is typically only needed when visibly dirty or when odor persists. Airing out the jacket between wears can help reduce the frequency of washing.
What does 'wool terry quality' mean?
Wool terry quality refers to the knit of the fabric. It has a smooth exterior and a soft, looped or 'fuzzy' interior, similar to cotton terry cloth, providing extra warmth and a plush feel.
Are there other colors or sizes available?
This specific product is a blue jacket for size 7-8. DILLING offers this style in various sizes and potentially other colors. Please check the DILLING product range for availability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen with wool. Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and a gentle cycle. Laying flat to dry without direct heat should help restore softness. Avoid fabric softener.
Pilling or fuzziness on the interior
Some pilling on the fuzzy interior is normal with wool terry due to friction. This does not typically affect the garment's performance. Gentle washing and minimal agitation can help reduce excessive pilling.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any snagged material. If the zipper remains stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip applied to the teeth can help lubricate it.
