Full details
This DILLING jacket, in Green and Size 10, is designed for children who need a versatile mid-layer or outer layer for transitional weather. Its key benefit is the natural temperature regulation and softness provided by 100% organic merino wool terry. A minor consideration is its suitability as a standalone jacket in very cold weather, where an additional layer might be necessary.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather on its own?
While merino wool provides excellent insulation, this jacket is primarily designed as a mid-layer or for transitional weather (spring/autumn). For very cold winter conditions, it is recommended to layer it under a waterproof and windproof outer jacket.
How often should I wash this merino wool jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and antibacterial, so it doesn't need washing after every wear. Airing the jacket out between uses can often suffice. Wash only when visibly soiled or if odor persists, following the specific care instructions.
What makes merino wool good for children's clothing?
Merino wool is known for its softness, breathability, and natural temperature-regulating properties. It keeps children warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm, wicks away moisture, and is gentle on sensitive skin.
Can I use a regular detergent to wash this jacket?
No, it is important to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fabrics. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool, damaging its fibers and reducing its performance.
What does 'merino wool terry' mean?
Merino wool terry refers to the knit structure of the fabric. It typically has loops on one side (like a towel, providing softness and absorbency) and a smoother surface on the other, offering a comfortable feel against the skin and a neat exterior finish.
Are there other sizes or colors available?
This product is available in various sizes and potentially other colors. Please refer to the product listing or manufacturer's website for the full range of options.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have followed the correct washing instructions. Organic merino wool is generally very soft, but initial wear or improper care can sometimes lead to a perception of itchiness.
Pilling on the fabric
Some pilling is natural with wool fibers, especially with friction. This does not affect the performance of the wool. To minimize pilling, wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid harsh rubbing.
Jacket losing shape after washing
Merino wool garments should be laid flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching the wet garment. Gently reshape the jacket to its original form while damp.
