Product Information

Full details

These DILLING merino wool terry trousers are designed for children, offering exceptional softness and warmth for everyday wear. They are ideal for active kids needing comfortable, durable, and temperature-regulating clothing for casual use, nursery, or school. A key benefit is the extra knee reinforcement for extended wear, though parents should note that while wool is naturally odor-resistant, prolonged heavy use may still require frequent washing.

FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, merino wool is excellent for warmth. For extremely cold conditions, consider layering these trousers over a base layer or wearing thicker outer garments.

Can the drawstring be removed?

The drawstring is secured within the waistband for safety and cannot be fully removed. It is designed to be easily adjusted for a secure fit.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the DILLING size guide and measure your child's waist and inseam. The elasticated waist and drawstring offer some flexibility, but a proper measurement ensures the best fit.

Will my child overheat in these indoors?

Merino wool is naturally breathable and temperature-regulating, which helps prevent overheating. However, in very warm indoor environments, they might be warmer than lighter-weight trousers.

How often should I wash these trousers?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often air them out between wears. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions, to prolong the garment's life and maintain its properties.

Are the reinforced knees waterproof?

The reinforced knees are designed for durability against wear and tear, not for waterproofing. They provide an extra layer of material for added strength.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel tight or loose

Adjust the internal drawstring for a snugger or looser fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected based on measurements.

Pilling on the surface

Some pilling is natural with wool due to friction. Gentle washing and drying can minimize this. Consider using a fabric comb designed for wool if needed.

Shrinkage after washing

Ensure washing was done on a 30°C wool program with wool detergent. Avoid hot water and machine drying. If slight shrinkage occurs, gentle stretching while damp may help.

Reduced softness after washing

Use a wool-specific detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners. Air drying flat helps retain softness.
