FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
The jacket is excellent as a mid-layer for winter, providing significant insulation. For very cold conditions, it is best worn under a heavier, insulated, or waterproof outer jacket.
How often should I wash this merino wool jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Washing only when necessary (e.g., after significant soiling or odor buildup) helps preserve the fibers. Airing it out between wears can refresh it.
Can I use a regular washing machine?
Yes, you can use a regular washing machine, but it must be on a specific 'wool' or 'delicate' cycle with a low temperature (max 30°C) and a wool-specific detergent.
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, similar to cotton terrycloth, which enhances comfort and insulation.
How do I know if I'm using the right detergent?
Look for detergents specifically labeled for wool or delicates. These are formulated to be gentle on natural fibers and will not contain harsh chemicals like bleach or fabric softeners that can degrade merino wool.
What is the benefit of ribbed cuffs and hem?
The ribbed cuffs and hem provide a snug fit that helps to seal in warmth by preventing cold air from entering the sleeves and body of the jacket, while also keeping the jacket securely in place during movement.
Can this jacket be worn by both boys and girls?
Yes, the jacket is designed with a unisex fit and style, making it suitable for children of any gender.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to have shrunk after washing.
Merino wool can be sensitive to heat. Ensure you are using a low temperature (max 30°C) and a wool-specific cycle. Avoid tumble drying. If minor shrinkage has occurred, gently stretching the garment while damp and laying flat to dry may help restore its shape.
Fuzzy texture inside is reducing.
The fuzzy texture is characteristic of the wool terry quality. Over time and with wear, some natural pilling or flattening may occur. Gentle washing and avoiding harsh friction can help maintain the texture. Occasional delicate brushing may help fluff the fibers.
Jacket has a slight odor even after washing.
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, but strong environmental odors can sometimes linger. Ensure you are using a suitable wool detergent and washing on the appropriate cycle. Airing the garment out in fresh air can also help dissipate residual odors.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Care Instructions:
To ensure the longevity and quality of your merino wool jacket, please follow these care instructions:
- Washing:
- Machine wash on a wool cycle or a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F).
- Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can damage the wool fibers.
- It is recommended to wash the garment inside out.
- Drying:
- Do not tumble dry. Merino wool can shrink significantly in a dryer.
- Gently reshape the garment while damp.
- Lay the jacket flat on a clean towel or drying rack to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Ironing:
- If necessary, iron on a low heat setting (wool setting) while the garment is still slightly damp.
- Avoid direct contact with high heat.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place. Folding is generally preferred over hanging to prevent stretching.
