FAQs

Is this vest suitable for very cold weather?

This vest is ideal for mid-season weather or as a layering piece in colder conditions. For very cold weather, pair it with a warm sweater underneath and a protective outer layer.

How do I know if I'm choosing the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, usually based on age and height (e.g., 3-4 years, 110/116cm). Ensure a comfortable fit that allows for layering without being too tight.

Why does the wool fray or change appearance?

This is a natural characteristic of 100% unblended wool. Wear and washing can cause fibers to loosen and create a slightly fuzzy or frayed appearance. This does not compromise the wool's natural insulating properties.

Can this vest be worn directly against the skin?

Yes, the organic merino wool is exceptionally soft and designed to be comfortable even when worn directly against sensitive skin.

What is the benefit of merino wool over regular wool?

Merino wool fibers are finer and softer than those of regular wool, making them less itchy and more comfortable. They also offer superior temperature regulation, moisture-wicking, and odor resistance.

How often should I wash the vest?

Wash only when necessary to preserve the wool's natural properties. Airing out the vest between wears can often suffice. When washing, use a wool-specific detergent and a gentle cycle.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels scratchy

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions with a wool-specific detergent. Organic merino wool is naturally soft, but proper care enhances its feel.

Fraying or pilling observed

This is a natural characteristic of 100% wool. Gentle washing and laying flat to dry can minimize this. Fraying does not impact the warmth or functionality of the wool.

Vest seems to have lost some shape after washing

Ensure the vest is laid flat to dry completely. Avoid wringing or stretching the garment while wet. Reshape gently while damp if needed.
