Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Merino Wool Fleece Jacket is designed for infants and toddlers, offering exceptional warmth and comfort, especially in mid-season weather or for travel in car seats and strollers. Its key benefit is the use of natural merino wool, providing excellent insulation without overheating. A caveat to note is that natural wool can change appearance and fray over time due to wear and washing, which is a characteristic of the material and does not impact its performance. The jacket features a soft, brushed fleece interior, ribbed cuffs for a snug fit, and is ideal for layering.

FAQs
Is merino wool itchy for babies?
No, merino wool fibers are very fine and soft, making them non-itchy and comfortable against sensitive baby skin. The brushed fleece finish adds extra softness.
How often should I wash the jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can wash it only when necessary, and airing it out between wears can help keep it fresh. Over-washing can contribute to fiber wear.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
This jacket is excellent for mid-seasons or as a warm layer. For very cold winter conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer, worn over base layers and under a windproof or waterproof outer jacket.
What does it mean that the wool may fray?
Fraying is a natural process for unblended wool fibers as they are exposed to friction from movement and washing. It's a sign of natural material use and does not compromise the garment's warmth or function.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by DILLING. This jacket is designed for infants and toddlers, with specific UK sizes available. Consider if you want room for growth or a snugger fit.
Are there other colors available?
This product guide focuses on the Grey variant. Other colors may be available in the DILLING range for similar merino wool jackets.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be pilling or fraying.
This is a natural characteristic of 100% merino wool due to friction from wear and washing. It does not affect the warmth or performance. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver if desired.
Jacket lost its shape after washing.
Ensure you are washing on a delicate or wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C and using a wool-specific detergent. Always lay flat to dry, do not wring or tumble dry.
Baby feels too warm or too cold.
Adjust the layers underneath or over the jacket. Merino wool is breathable, but proper layering is key for optimal temperature regulation in different conditions.

- Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicates cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
- Drying: Lay the garment flat to dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the wool fibers. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
