Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Baby Merino Wool Fleece Jacket in Brown (size 6-18) is designed for infants and toddlers seeking natural warmth and comfort, making it ideal for mid-season wear or as an insulating layer in winter. Its key benefit is the 100% organic merino wool, which provides excellent temperature regulation and softness. A minor consideration is that natural wool fibers may change appearance over time due to wear and washing, though this does not impact their insulating properties.

FAQs
What makes merino wool different from regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer than regular wool, making them softer, less itchy, and more breathable. They also have excellent moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties.
How do I wash my merino wool jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) using a detergent specifically designed for wool. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Do not tumble dry.
Can this jacket be worn in a car seat?
Yes, the slim profile of merino wool makes it a safe and warm choice for car seats, unlike bulky synthetic jackets that can interfere with harness fit.
Why does the wool fabric change appearance over time?
This jacket is made from 100% unblended natural wool. Natural fibers are prone to pilling and slight fraying with wear and washing, which is a sign of a genuine, natural material and does not compromise its performance.
Is this jacket suitable for newborns?
This specific size is for 6-18 months. For newborns, please check DILLING's size range for younger infants.
Can I use fabric softener with this jacket?
No, fabric softener should be avoided as it can coat the wool fibers, reducing their natural properties like breathability and moisture-wicking.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after washing
This can happen with natural wool. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a wool wash cycle. Laying flat to dry away from direct heat also helps. Gentle brushing after drying can restore softness.
Appearance of pilling or slight fraying
This is a natural characteristic of 100% wool fibers. It does not impact the garment's warmth or functionality. You can gently brush the surface to smooth it out.
Baby seems too warm or cold
Merino wool is breathable, but ensure you are using it appropriately. For very cold weather, add another layer; for warmer weather, remove layers or open the zipper for ventilation.
