Product Information
Full details
DILLING's Merino Wool Long Johns are designed for adult males seeking comfortable, temperature-regulating base layers. Their key benefit lies in the exceptionally soft, itch-free organic merino wool that naturally manages moisture and body heat. A potential consideration is their close-fitting design, which, while optimal for layering and performance, might not be preferred by everyone for casual wear. This guide covers their features, use, care, and more.

FAQs
What makes the merino wool soft?
The merino wool undergoes a 10-hour environmentally friendly enzyme treatment that removes the coarser, itch-inducing fibers, resulting in a luxuriously soft feel against the skin.
Are these suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the treatment to remove itchy fibers makes the organic merino wool exceptionally soft and gentle, making it ideal for individuals with sensitive skin.
How often should I wash these long johns?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can wear them multiple times between washes, depending on activity level. Wash only when necessary following the care instructions.
Can I wear these in warm weather?
Merino wool is a natural thermoregulator. While excellent for cold weather, it can also help keep you comfortable in warmer conditions by wicking away moisture and allowing breathability.
What is the 'fly' for?
The fly is a functional opening at the front, designed for convenience, especially when using the restroom while wearing the long johns as a base layer.
What is the difference between these and regular long johns?
These are made from premium organic merino wool, offering superior temperature regulation, moisture-wicking, and softness compared to typical cotton or synthetic long johns.
Troubleshooting
Product feels itchy
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions, using a wool-specific detergent. The enzyme treatment is designed to remove itchiness, but improper washing can affect the fibers.
Garment has lost shape after washing
Avoid tumble drying and high washing temperatures. Always air dry flat. Reshape the garment gently while damp if needed.
Reduced temperature regulation
Ensure the garment is clean and free from heavy soiling or residue, which can impede the wool's natural properties. Check for any damage to the fabric.
