Full details
This DILLING fleece jacket is designed for children, offering exceptional warmth and softness as a mid-layer.

FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for children?
Merino wool is naturally soft, non-itchy, and gentle on sensitive skin. It's also breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature-regulating, keeping children comfortable in various conditions.
How should I wash this merino wool jacket?
Machine wash on a wool program at 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Dry flat and iron on a low setting.
Will the jacket stretch out of shape?
While merino wool has elasticity, prolonged stretching or improper drying (like hanging wet) can affect its shape. Always dry flat.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
As a mid-layer, it provides excellent insulation. For very cold winter conditions, it should be worn under a waterproof and windproof outer jacket or coat.
What does 'fleece products may change appearance over time' mean?
This refers to the natural characteristic of unblended wool fibers. With wear and washing, the surface may pill or appear slightly frayed. This is aesthetic and does not compromise the wool's insulating performance.
Can this jacket be worn directly against the skin?
Yes, the organic merino wool is specifically chosen for its softness and is designed to be comfortable and non-irritating against sensitive skin, functioning well as a base or mid-layer.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less soft after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool wash cycle. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat.
Pilling or fraying observed on the surface.
This is a natural characteristic of 100% wool fleece and does not impact the garment's warmth or functionality. Gentle wear and washing can minimize the appearance of fraying.
Child feels too warm or cold.
Adjust the layering system. The jacket is a mid-layer; add or remove an outer layer as needed. Ensure the zipper is adjusted for ventilation if needed.
