Full details

This DILLING Children's Merino Wool Terry Jacket in Green (size 3-4) is designed for active kids who need a comfortable and versatile layering piece. Its key benefit is the natural temperature regulation and softness of 100% organic merino wool, making it ideal for mid-season wear or as a warm mid-layer in winter.

FAQs

What makes merino wool suitable for children's clothing?

Merino wool is naturally soft, non-itchy, breathable, and temperature-regulating, making it comfortable for children's sensitive skin. It can keep them warm in the cold and cool in the heat.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

It is excellent as a mid-layer in very cold weather, providing significant insulation under a waterproof or windproof outer layer. For milder days, it can be worn as a standalone jacket.

How often should I wash this jacket?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't need to be washed after every wear. Airing it out between wears can often suffice. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions.

Can I use regular laundry detergent?

No, it is strongly recommended to use a wool-specific detergent. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool, making it dry and potentially damaging its fibers.

What does 'wool terry quality' mean?

Wool terry quality refers to the knit of the fabric, which has a smooth exterior and a soft, looped, fuzzy interior, similar to cotton terry cloth. This construction enhances comfort and insulation.

Are there other sizes or colors available?

This specific product is a Children's Merino Wool Terry Jacket in Green, size 3-4. Other sizes and colors may be available from the brand DILLING.

Troubleshooting

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 reshape while damp. Avoid excessive heat during washing or drying.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstructions. You can also apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a bit of wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Pilling or minor felting observed

Some pilling can be natural with wool. For minor issues, you can gently shave the pills off with a fabric shaver. Avoid vigorous washing or rubbing, which can exacerbate felting.
