FAQs
Is merino wool warm enough for winter?
Merino wool provides excellent warmth, especially when layered. This fleece jacket can be worn on its own in milder weather or as a crucial insulating layer under a heavier coat for winter conditions.
Can this jacket be worn year-round?
Yes, the natural breathability and temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make it suitable for year-round wear, adapting to different conditions as a base, mid, or outer layer.
How often should I wash the jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning. Washing is typically only needed when visibly soiled. Airing out the jacket between wears can significantly reduce the need for washing. When washing, use a wool-specific program and detergent.
Will the jacket shrink if washed incorrectly?
Yes, like most wool products, improper washing (e.g., high heat, agitation) can cause shrinkage. Always follow the care instructions for wool programs at 30-40°C and avoid tumble drying.
What does 'fleece' mean in this context?
In this context, 'fleece' refers to the brushed, soft, and fluffy texture of the merino wool fabric, which enhances its insulating properties and provides a very comfortable feel against the skin.
Is the zipper safe for babies?
The jacket features a standard zipper designed for children's wear, with a protective fabric flap at the top to prevent pinching the skin when fully zipped.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be pilling or fraying.
This is a natural characteristic of pure merino wool. It does not affect the insulating properties of the garment. Gentle washing and avoiding excessive friction can help minimize this over time. You can also gently remove pills with a wool comb.
Jacket feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a wool wash cycle. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat, which can damage wool fibers. Reshaping while damp and drying flat can help maintain softness.
Zipper is difficult to zip or unzip.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently pull the fabric away. If the zipper is still stiff, you can try rubbing a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to lubricate it.
