FAQs
What makes merino wool good for children's clothing?
Merino wool is excellent for children because it's soft, breathable, naturally temperature-regulating (keeping them warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm), and moisture-wicking. It's also hypoallergenic and naturally antibacterial, reducing odors.
Can this jacket be worn year-round?
This jacket is most suitable for transitional seasons (spring and autumn) as an outer layer or as an insulating mid-layer during winter. For very warm summer days, it might be too warm.
How do I know if I'm using the correct detergent?
Look for detergents specifically labeled for wool or delicates. They are formulated to be gentle on wool fibers and do not contain enzymes or harsh chemicals that can damage merino wool.
What does 'wool terry quality' mean?
Wool terry quality refers to the specific knit of the fabric. It has a smooth exterior for durability and a soft, fuzzy interior loop structure, similar to cotton terry cloth, which enhances its warmth and comfort.
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Hand washing is also an option for extra care.
What is the main benefit of the ribbed cuffs and hem?
The ribbed cuffs and hem are designed to provide a snug fit. This helps to keep the jacket in place, prevent cold air from entering, and keep body heat trapped inside.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels itchy.
Merino wool is naturally soft, but initial wear or specific skin sensitivities can occur. Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions, which can soften the fibers. If irritation persists, consider wearing a thin cotton layer underneath.
Jacket lost its shape after washing.
Ensure you are using the wool cycle on your washing machine and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high spin speeds and always lay the garment flat to dry. Never tumble dry.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull any caught threads away. You can also try rubbing a pencil lead or a bit of beeswax along the zipper teeth to help it slide more smoothly.
