Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Baby Merino Wool Fleece Jacket in Grey is designed for infants and toddlers, offering exceptional warmth and comfort for mid-season wear. Its key benefit is the natural breathability and temperature-regulating properties of 100% organic merino wool. A potential consideration is that natural wool fibers may change appearance over time due to wear and washing, though this does not impact their insulating qualities. The jacket features a soft, brushed fleece surface, ribbed cuffs for a snug fit, and is ideal for stroller rides or car seats.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for newborns?
Yes, this jacket is available in sizes suitable for infants as small as 0-6 months, making it appropriate for newborns and up.
How do I wash the merino wool jacket?
Machine wash on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry.
Will the wool change appearance over time?
Yes, 100% natural wool fibers can change appearance, such as slight fraying or pilling, with regular wear and washing. This is a natural sign of a pure wool product and does not compromise its insulating properties.
Can I use this jacket in a car seat?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be safe and comfortable for use in car seats and strollers, providing warmth without excessive bulk.
Is merino wool itchy for babies?
No, DILLING uses very fine merino wool known for its softness. The brushed fleece surface further enhances comfort, making it gentle on a baby's sensitive skin.
What is the best season to use this jacket?
This jacket is ideal for mid-seasons, such as spring and autumn, as a primary outer layer. It can also be used as a warm mid-layer in colder winter conditions.
How does merino wool keep my baby warm?
Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that traps air, creating insulation. They also wick moisture away from the skin, ensuring your baby stays dry and warm, even if they sweat.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be pilling or fraying.
This is a natural characteristic of 100% merino wool due to friction from wear and washing. It does not affect the warmth or comfort of the garment. Gentle washing and avoiding harsh agitation can help minimize this.
Baby feels too warm or too cold.
Merino wool is temperature-regulating, but adjust the layers underneath based on the ambient temperature. Ensure the jacket is not the only layer if extreme cold is expected. Check that the size is appropriate for a comfortable, not restrictive, fit.
Jacket loses shape after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool wash cycle on your machine. Always lay flat to dry and avoid wringing or stretching the garment while wet.
