Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Merino Wool Fleece Jacket in Brown (size 9-12) is designed for infants and toddlers seeking natural warmth and comfort during mid-seasons or as a layering piece in winter. Its key benefit is the exceptionally soft and breathable 100% organic merino wool fleece that keeps your child cozy without overheating. A minor consideration is that, due to its natural wool composition, the jacket's appearance may change and fray over time with wear and washing, though this does not impact its insulating properties.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for newborns?
While the jacket is designed for infants, the 9-12 month size is generally not suitable for newborns. Please refer to smaller sizes (e.g., 0-3 or 3-6 months) if available for newborns. The material itself is very soft and suitable for sensitive skin.
How do I wash the 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 bleach and fabric softeners.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
No, do not tumble dry merino wool. High heat can damage the fibers and cause shrinkage. Always lay the jacket flat to dry away from direct heat sources.
What does it mean if the wool frays or pills?
Fraying and pilling are natural occurrences with 100% natural wool fibers, especially when worn frequently or washed. It indicates the material is unblended and natural, and it does not affect the wool's insulating capabilities.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is made of merino wool fleece and is not waterproof. It offers warmth and breathability but should be paired with a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.
What is the main advantage of merino wool for baby clothing?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, temperature-regulating (keeping babies warm when cold and cool when warm), moisture-wicking, and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for sensitive baby skin.
Can this jacket be worn year-round?
It is best suited for cooler weather. It can be worn as an outer layer in mild temperatures (spring/autumn) or as a warm mid-layer in colder winter conditions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be pilling or fraying.
This is a natural characteristic of 100% unblended merino wool and does not impact its performance. Gentle wear and washing can cause this. Continue using the jacket as normal.
Baby seems too warm or sweaty.
Merino wool is breathable, but if your child is very active or the ambient temperature is high, consider layering less. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted, allowing for air circulation.
Zipper is difficult to close.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently guide the fabric away from the zipper track. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of wax (like a candle) can sometimes help lubricate it.
Jacket loses shape after washing.
Ensure you are washing on a gentle wool cycle and laying flat to dry. Avoid wringing out the garment excessively. Reshape gently while damp if needed.
