FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
While excellent for warmth, this merino wool terry jacket is best suited as a mid-layer for very cold winter conditions. For primary winter outerwear, consider layering it under a thicker, insulated jacket or a waterproof shell.
How does merino wool regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers have a unique structure that traps air, providing insulation. When it's cold, this trapped air keeps you warm. When it's warm, the fibers wick moisture away from the skin, helping you stay cool and dry. It actively responds to body temperature.
Can this jacket be worn by children with sensitive skin?
Yes, organic merino wool is known for its softness and is generally non-itchy, making it suitable for children with sensitive skin.
How often should I wash this jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can wear it multiple times between washes, airing it out between wears. Wash only when necessary, following the specific care instructions to preserve the wool fibers.
What is the difference between regular wool and merino wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer and softer than traditional wool fibers, resulting in a less scratchy feel. They also offer superior breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash it, but only on a delicate or wool cycle with cold water (maximum 30°C) and a wool-specific detergent. Always avoid high heat and tumble drying.
Troubleshooting
Jacket seems to have shrunk after washing.
Merino wool can be sensitive to heat. Ensure you are washing on a cold or wool cycle (max 30°C) and always lay flat to dry, avoiding tumble dryers.
Wool feels itchy.
Genuine merino wool should be soft and non-itchy. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment has been washed according to care instructions. Sometimes, a few washes can soften the fibers further.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to pull the fabric away. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.
Garment has a faint odor after wear.
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. If an odor persists after wearing, ensure it is washed according to the care instructions with a suitable wool detergent. Airing out the garment can also help refresh it.
