Full details
This DILLING Children's Merino Wool Fleece Jacket is designed for active kids seeking warmth and comfort, especially during transitional seasons. Its key benefit is the ultra-soft, organic merino wool that provides excellent insulation without irritation. A caveat to note is that natural wool fibers may show wear like pilling over time, which is normal for unblended wool and does not impact its performance. This jacket serves as an ideal mid-layer for everyday wear or outdoor adventures.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is designed as an ideal mid-layer, providing excellent insulation. For very cold weather, it should be worn in conjunction with a warm base layer and a protective outer shell.
How often should I wash the jacket?
Wash only when necessary. Airing the jacket out between uses can often refresh it. When washing, use a gentle wool cycle and wool detergent.
Can I use regular detergent to wash this jacket?
No, it is strongly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool and damage the fibers.
What does 'mid-season weather' mean for this jacket?
Mid-season weather typically refers to the transitional periods of spring and autumn, where temperatures can fluctuate between cool and mild. The jacket provides adequate warmth for these conditions.
Will the wool feel rough on my child's skin?
This jacket is made from organic merino wool, which is known for its exceptionally fine fibers, making it very soft and non-itchy, even for sensitive skin.
What is the benefit of the brushed, fluffy surface?
The brushed surface increases the loft of the wool fibers, creating more air pockets. This enhances the jacket's insulating capabilities, trapping more body heat to keep your child warmer.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels itchy.
While merino wool is known for its softness, ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions before first wear. If irritation persists, consider a different base layer underneath.
Jacket appears to be shrinking after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool cycle on your washing machine. Avoid hot water and do not tumble dry. Lay flat to air dry.
Pilling or fuzziness on the surface.
This is a normal characteristic of natural merino wool fleece due to friction during wear and washing. It does not impact the jacket's warmth or performance. You can gently comb the pills off with a wool comb.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure the size is appropriate for your child before use.
Compatibility: Designed as a mid-layer, it pairs well with base layers and outer shells (jackets, raincoats). Suitable for unisex children.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool cycle (30°C or 40°C) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the wool fibers.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can shrink or damage the wool.
- Fraying: Natural wool fleece products may show signs of pilling and fraying with wear and washing. This is a natural characteristic of unblended wool and does not affect its insulating properties. You can gently remove pills with a wool comb if desired.
