FAQs

What makes merino wool suitable for children's clothing?

Merino wool is exceptionally soft, breathable, and naturally temperature-regulating, making it ideal for children's sensitive skin and active lifestyles. It wicks away moisture and helps keep the body at a comfortable temperature.

Can this jacket be worn as an outer layer?

While it can be worn on its own in mild conditions, it is primarily designed as a mid-layer. For protection against wind and rain, it's best worn under a waterproof or windproof outer jacket.

How often should I wash the jacket?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't need frequent washing. Airing out the jacket between wears can often suffice. Wash only when necessary, following the specific wool care instructions.

What does it mean that the wool fleece may change appearance?

This refers to pilling or 'bobbling,' which is a natural outcome of friction when wearing and washing 100% natural wool fibers. It's a sign of the natural material's integrity and doesn't impact the wool's warmth or performance.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, it serves as an excellent insulating layer for very cold weather when worn under a heavier, protective outer jacket. Its natural wool fibers trap air for warmth.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty information for details regarding the warranty period and coverage.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided by DILLING, usually based on age or specific measurements, to select the most appropriate fit for your child.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels itchy

Ensure you are using 100% merino wool and that the garment has been washed according to care instructions. High-quality merino wool should be soft against the skin. If itchiness persists, consider wearing a thin base layer underneath.

Pilling or change in appearance

This is a natural characteristic of unblended wool fleece and does not affect its thermal properties. Gentle washing, avoiding excessive friction, and using a wool-specific detergent can minimize pilling. You can also carefully remove pills with a fabric shaver.

Zipper is stiff

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of beeswax.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional softness and comfort due to organic merino wool.
  • Excellent natural temperature regulation suitable for varying weather.
  • Breathable and moisture-wicking properties keep the child dry.
  • Durable construction designed for active children.
  • Sustainable and natural material choice.

Cons

  • Wool fleece may change appearance or pill over time, which is normal for the material.
  • Requires specific care to maintain wool properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the package.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as a versatile mid-layer and pairs well with other outerwear such as raincoats, windbreakers, or heavier winter jackets. It is suitable for children of all genders.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a wool program at 30°C (86°F) or use a cold wash cycle.
  • Detergent: Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
  • Drying: Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the wool fibers.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting.
  • Pilling: Natural wool products may develop pills (bobbles) from friction during wear and washing. This is a normal characteristic of 100% wool and does not affect the material's insulating or temperature-regulating properties. Gentle washing and occasional steaming can help manage this.
