FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
While excellent for warmth, this merino wool jacket is best used as a mid-layer in very cold winter conditions, providing insulation under a waterproof or windproof outer jacket.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Refer to the size chart provided by the brand. This jacket is designed for children and comes in specific age/size ranges. The ribbed cuffs and hem also allow for some flexibility in fit.
Can this jacket be worn directly against the skin?
Yes, the 100% organic merino wool is known for its softness and is typically non-itchy, making it comfortable for direct skin contact.
Why does merino wool need special care?
Merino wool fibers are delicate and have a unique structure. Special care prevents shrinking, felting (matting of fibers), and damage to the natural elasticity and softness of the wool.
How often should I wash this jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can wear it multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers and reduce environmental impact.
What does 'wool terry quality' mean?
It refers to the knit structure of the fabric. 'Wool terry quality' means the fabric has a smooth outer surface and a soft, fuzzy, loop-like inner surface, similar to terry cloth, enhancing comfort and insulation.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less soft after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the washing machine is on a wool cycle. Avoid fabric softeners. Try airing the jacket out; sometimes, softness returns naturally.
Stretching or misshaping after drying.
Never tumble dry merino wool. Always lay flat to dry, reshaping the garment while it is damp. Ensure it is not hung while wet, as the weight of the water can cause stretching.
Slight odor despite washing.
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. If an odor persists, ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Wool can sometimes trap environmental smells; re-washing with appropriate detergent and airing out in fresh air should resolve this.
