FAQs
Are these long johns itchy?
DILLING uses fine merino wool, which is known for its softness and non-itchy properties. It is designed to be comfortable against the skin.
Can I wear these year-round?
While excellent for cold weather, merino wool is also breathable and can be comfortable in milder temperatures. They are best suited for cooler seasons or as a base layer when active.
How does the "extra room at the front" affect the fit?
This feature is specifically designed to provide additional comfort and a better fit for boys. It ensures the garment doesn't feel restrictive in that area.
How often should I wash these long johns?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can wear them multiple times between washes, especially if worn as a base layer. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fiber's quality.
What is the jacquard knitting technique?
Jacquard knitting is a weaving technique that creates intricate patterns directly into the fabric. For these long johns, it results in a denser, warmer, and more durable material.
Are these suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is often recommended for sensitive skin due to its natural, breathable, and non-irritating properties.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels tight or restrictive after washing.
Merino wool can sometimes shrink slightly if washed or dried at high temperatures. Reshape the garment gently while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat in future washes.
Slight odor persists after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Airing the garment out in fresh air can also help neutralize odors.
Pilling or snagging observed.
Occasional pilling is normal for natural fibers. Snagging can occur if caught on rough surfaces. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or comb. Be mindful of rough materials when wearing.
