Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Fleece Vest in Blue is designed for kids seeking warmth and comfort during mid-season weather. Its key benefit is the incredibly soft, organic merino wool construction that's gentle on sensitive skin. A potential caveat is that, as a natural, unblended material, the wool may change appearance or fray over time with wear and washing, though this does not impact its warming properties. Key features include a full zip for easy on-off, practical pockets, and a protective high standing collar.

FAQs
Is this vest suitable for very cold winter weather?
This vest is designed as a mid-season layer for warmth. For very cold winter weather, it is best used as part of a layering system, worn over a base layer and under a more robust outer jacket.
Why does the wool fray or change appearance?
The vest is made from an unblended, natural wool material. Like many natural fibers, it can change slightly in appearance and may fray over time with wear and washing. This is a normal characteristic of pure wool and does not affect its warmth or insulating properties.
Can I put this vest in the washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a wool program (delicate cycle) at a maximum of 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not tumble dry.
How often should I wash the vest?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Wash only when necessary to maintain the wool's properties and longevity. Airing out the vest between wears can help keep it fresh.
What sizes are available for this vest?
This particular vest is available in sizes for kids, with specific sizes like 146/152 and others mentioned in the product details.
Is the blue color fade-resistant?
While DILLING uses quality dyes, natural wool can be sensitive to prolonged direct sunlight, which may cause colors to fade over time. We recommend drying the garment away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Vest feels scratchy
Ensure you are using a dedicated wool detergent and the correct wash cycle. Merino wool is typically very soft, but improper washing can affect its texture. If the issue persists, consider airing the garment for a day.
Fraying or pilling observed
This is a natural characteristic of unblended wool. Gently brush the surface to manage the appearance. Avoid excessive rubbing during washing. Frequent washing can accelerate this, so only wash when necessary.
Vest seems to have lost its shape
Ensure the vest was dried flat. Reshape the garment gently while damp and allow it to air dry completely in its intended shape. Avoid hanging wet garments, as this can cause stretching.
Stains on the vest
Treat stains immediately with a small amount of wool-safe detergent. Gently dab the stain rather than rubbing. For persistent stains, consult a professional cleaner experienced with wool garments.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program (delicate cycle) at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a wool detergent specifically designed for merino wool.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can harm the wool fibers.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay the vest flat on a towel or drying rack to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as heat can damage the wool.
- Maintenance: Due to its natural, unblended wool composition, the material may naturally change its appearance and fray slightly over time with regular wear and washing. This is normal and does not diminish the wool's insulating properties. Brush gently if needed to manage the surface texture.
