FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for children's clothing?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking, and odor-resistant, making it exceptionally comfortable and practical for children's active lifestyles.
How often should I wash this jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can be worn multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, using a gentle wool cycle and appropriate detergent. Airing the garment out can often refresh it.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
Yes, it functions exceptionally well as an insulating mid-layer in cold weather. For extreme cold, an additional waterproof and windproof outer layer is recommended.
Is this jacket suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for its fineness and softness, making it generally comfortable even for sensitive skin, unlike coarser wool types.
What does 'wool terry quality' mean?
Wool terry quality refers to the fabric's construction: it has a smooth exterior surface and a soft, looped or fuzzy interior texture, providing extra comfort and insulation.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING for children's UK sizes, which typically corresponds to age ranges. The jacket is listed in size 5-6 years.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the retailer's or manufacturer's (DILLING) specific warranty policy for detailed information, as warranty periods can vary.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to have lost its shape after washing.
Gently reshape the garment while it is damp and lay it flat to dry. Ensure you followed the specific wool care instructions, avoiding high heat and excessive agitation.
Jacket feels itchy or less soft than expected.
This can sometimes occur if wool care instructions are not followed, or if the wool is very fine. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent. Repeated gentle washing and air drying can also help soften the fibers over time.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, you can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Small holes or snags appear on the fabric.
Merino wool, while durable, can snag on sharp objects. Mend small holes carefully with a needle and thread that matches the wool. Inspect garments for potential snagging hazards before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Suitable for all children's activities, from casual wear to outdoor adventures. It pairs well with base layers, t-shirts, and outerwear such as raincoats or winter jackets.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
- Drying: It is best to air dry the jacket. Lay it flat on a towel away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the wool fibers and cause shrinkage.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting (wool setting) while the garment is slightly damp.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Consider using breathable garment bags if storing for extended periods.
