Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Merino Wool Fleece Jacket is designed for toddlers and babies, offering exceptional warmth and comfort for transitional weather. Its key benefit is the natural temperature-regulating properties of 100% organic merino wool, keeping your child comfortable in car seats or strollers. A caveat to note is that pure wool fleece may naturally change appearance and fray with wear and washing, which is a characteristic of the natural material and does not impact its performance.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
This jacket is best suited for transitional weather like spring and autumn. For very cold winter conditions, it can be used as a warm mid-layer under a heavier, insulated outer jacket.
How does merino wool regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers have a unique structure that can trap air, providing insulation when it's cold. When it's warm, the fibers wick moisture away from the skin and allow it to evaporate, helping to cool the body. This makes it adaptable to changing temperatures.
Will the jacket shrink if washed incorrectly?
Merino wool can be prone to shrinking if exposed to high heat or aggressive agitation. Always wash on a cold, gentle cycle with wool detergent and dry flat to prevent shrinkage.
What does 'organic' mean in this context?
Organic refers to the wool being sourced from sheep raised in accordance with organic farming standards, which typically exclude the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
How often should I wash the jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't need frequent washing. Airing it out between uses can often be sufficient. Wash only when visibly soiled or when odor is present, following the care instructions.
Can I use a regular laundry detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can be too harsh and strip the natural oils from the wool fibers, affecting its softness and performance.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be losing its shape
Gently reshape the garment while damp and dry it flat. Merino wool will often return to its original shape after washing and drying correctly.
Visible fraying or pilling on the surface
This is a natural characteristic of pure wool fleece due to friction during wear and washing. It does not impact the jacket's warmth or functionality. Continue to follow care instructions.
Child feels too warm or too cold
Adjust the layers underneath or over the jacket. Merino wool is temperature-regulating, but optimal comfort depends on the overall layering system and external conditions.
