FAQs
Can I wear these merino wool long johns year-round?
Yes, merino wool is excellent for year-round wear. Its natural insulating properties keep you warm in winter, while its breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities help keep you cool and dry in warmer weather or during strenuous activity.
How often should I wash my merino wool long johns?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and antibacterial, so you can wear them multiple times between washes. Washing frequency depends on usage, but airing them out often suffices. Follow the care instructions when washing is necessary.
Are these long johns suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the DILLING long johns are made from ultra-fine organic merino wool, which is known for its softness and is generally very well-tolerated by sensitive skin. Unlike coarser wools, it is designed to be non-itchy.
Can I use a regular washing machine?
Yes, you can use a regular washing machine, but it's crucial to select a wool or delicate cycle with cold or lukewarm water (max 30-40°C) and use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.
What is the benefit of the fly design?
The fly design offers convenience for bathroom breaks, allowing for easier access without needing to remove your outer layers or the long johns completely.
How do I store my merino wool long johns?
Store them folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging them for long periods, as this can stretch the garment. Ensure they are clean before storing for extended periods.
What does 'organic' merino wool mean?
Organic merino wool signifies that the sheep raised for the wool are managed according to organic farming principles, avoiding synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and GMOs in their grazing and care. It also often implies ethical treatment of the animals.
Troubleshooting
Long johns feel itchy or scratchy
Ensure you are washing with a wool-specific detergent and have followed the care instructions. The ultra-fine merino wool is designed for softness, but initial wears or improper care can sometimes lead to perceived scratchiness. Washing may help soften the fibers.
Garment has shrunk after washing
This usually occurs due to washing at too high a temperature or tumble drying. Always use a cold or wool wash cycle (max 30-40°C) and lay flat to dry. Hand washing is the safest method for longevity. If shrinkage is significant, consider purchasing a larger size next time.
Odor has not dissipated after washing
Ensure you are using enough wool-specific detergent and that the wash cycle is adequate. Airing out merino wool garments can also help refresh them between washes. If odor persists, check the care label for specific recommendations, though this is rare with merino wool.
Elastic waistband has lost its stretch
Avoid high heat drying, as this can degrade elastic. Ensure the garment is always laid flat to dry. Repeated stretching or improper washing may affect the elastic over a very long period.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool long johns:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30-40°C (86-104°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the wool fibers.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. This prevents shrinkage and preserves the shape of the garment.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. It is generally not required if dried correctly.
- Avoid: Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals. Do not dry clean unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer.
