FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
This jacket is ideal for transitional weather (spring/autumn) or as a mid-layer in winter. For very cold conditions, it should be worn under a thicker, insulated outer jacket.
Can I wash this jacket in a regular washing machine?
Yes, but only on a dedicated wool or delicates cycle at a maximum of 30°C. Use a wool-specific detergent and avoid fabric softener.
How do I know if it's truly merino wool?
The product description confirms it is made from 100% organic merino wool. Authentic merino wool is known for its fine fibers, softness, and natural temperature-regulating properties.
Will this jacket keep my child dry in the rain?
No, merino wool is breathable but not waterproof. For rain protection, an additional waterproof outer layer is necessary.
What does 'merino wool terry' mean?
Merino wool terry refers to a knitting technique where loops are formed on one side of the fabric, creating a soft, absorbent, and insulating texture. This jacket has a soft terry interior and a smooth exterior.
How often should I wash this jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. Washing only when necessary (e.g., after significant soiling or odor buildup) helps preserve the fibers. Often, airing it out is sufficient.
Can I use this jacket for a child with sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for being soft, breathable, and non-itchy, making it an excellent choice for children with sensitive skin.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels itchy or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are using 100% merino wool. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, as residual detergents or sizing can sometimes cause irritation. If the issue persists, it may indicate a sensitivity to wool.
Wool appears to have shrunk after washing.
This often happens with improper washing. Always use a wool-specific cycle at 30°C and avoid high temperatures or harsh agitation. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it catches on fabric, carefully free the material. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a tiny bit of lip balm to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
Jacket loses its shape after wear.
Merino wool has natural elasticity but can stretch with prolonged wear. Lay the jacket flat to dry after each wear or wash to help it regain its original shape. Avoid hanging damp garments for long periods.
