Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Merino Wool Fleece Jacket is designed for children who need a soft, warm, and breathable mid-layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is the exceptional comfort and insulation provided by organic merino wool, ideal for sensitive skin, especially in transitional weather. A minor caveat is that the natural wool material may change appearance over time with wear and washing, though this does not impact its thermal properties. The jacket features a full zipper, a high standing collar, and elastic cuffs for a snug fit.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is an excellent mid-layer for cold weather. For extreme cold, it should be worn under a waterproof and windproof outer layer for optimal protection.
How often should I wash the jacket?
Wash only when necessary. Spot clean minor stains if possible. For full washes, use a gentle wool cycle with wool detergent.
Why is my wool jacket fraying?
Fraying and pilling are natural characteristics of pure, unblended wool due to friction during wear and washing. It doesn't affect the wool's insulating properties.
Can this jacket be worn by babies?
This specific model is sized for older children (9-10 years). DILLING offers various sizes and styles suitable for different age groups, including babies.
Does merino wool itch?
No, high-quality merino wool, especially organic merino wool used by DILLING, is known for its fine fibers that are soft and non-itchy, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
What are the benefits of merino wool over regular wool?
Merino wool is finer, softer, and less prone to itching than traditional wool. It also offers superior breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after washing
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and the correct gentle wash cycle. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat. Repeated wear can restore softness.
Fraying or pilling is noticeable
This is a natural characteristic of unblended wool. Gently remove any loose fibers with scissors or a fabric shaver. Continue to follow gentle washing and drying procedures.
Child feels cold while wearing the jacket
Ensure the jacket is being used as part of a layering system in very cold weather. Check that the cuffs are snug and the zipper is fully closed to trap body heat effectively.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Wash inside out on a gentle wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry naturally. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the wool fibers. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods.
