FAQs

Are these hipsters suitable for very sensitive skin?

Yes, the blend of organic merino wool and silk is naturally soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic, making it excellent for children with sensitive skin.

How often should I wash these hipsters?

Wash as needed. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so they may not require washing after every single wear. Follow the care instructions for optimal longevity.

Can I use regular laundry detergent?

It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can contain enzymes that are too harsh for the fine merino wool and silk fibers, potentially damaging them.

Will these hipsters keep my child warm in winter?

Yes, the merino wool is excellent at trapping body heat and regulating temperature, providing warmth without excessive bulk. They are a great base layer for cold weather.

Are these hipsters suitable for summer?

Yes, the breathable nature of the fabric helps to wick away moisture and keep children cool, making them comfortable even in warmer weather.

What is the main benefit of the silk content?

The silk adds an extra layer of softness and smoothness to the fabric, enhancing comfort and contributing to the overall luxurious feel of the hipsters.

Can these be worn as outerwear?

No, these hipsters are designed as underwear or a base layer. They are not intended to be worn as outerwear.

Troubleshooting

Hipsters feel stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have avoided fabric softeners. Gently stretch the fabric while damp and lay flat to dry.

Shrinkage noticed after washing/drying

This is often due to washing at too high a temperature or using a tumble dryer. Always follow the 30-40°C gentle cycle and air dry instructions. For minor shrinkage, gently stretching while damp may help.

Discomfort or irritation

Although rare, ensure the garment is properly rinsed to remove all detergent. Check for any loose threads or seams. If irritation persists, consider a different fabric blend.
