FAQs
What makes merino wool good for base layers?
Merino wool is excellent for base layers because it is soft, lightweight, breathable, naturally warm even when damp, and resistant to odors. It helps regulate body temperature effectively.
How often should I wash this top?
Due to its natural odor-resistant properties, you can wear it multiple times between washes. Wash when it visibly appears dirty or starts to retain odor, typically less frequently than synthetic base layers.
Can I wear this in warm weather?
While merino wool is breathable, this particular top is designed for warmth. It may be too warm for very hot climates, but its breathability can still make it comfortable in milder conditions or for regulating temperature during physical activity.
Is the lace trim durable?
The lace trim is designed to be elegant and is made with elastic for comfort. However, it is a delicate feature and requires careful handling during washing and wear to prevent snags.
What is the fit like?
The top has a body-conscious, close-fitting design, intended to be worn as a base layer. It is slim and designed to fit comfortably without bunching under other clothing.
What size should I order?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING for accurate measurements. The garment is designed for a snug fit, so selecting the correct size is important for comfort and performance.
Troubleshooting
Top feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have followed the washing instructions. Merino wool is typically non-itchy, but improper care can affect the fibers.
Loss of shape after washing
Reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can cause shrinkage and distortion.
Delicate lace trim snagged
Carefully try to un-snag the lace. For significant damage, consider professional repair. Always wash with similar items and consider using a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
