Product Information

Full details

This DILLING fleece jacket is designed for children aged 5-6, providing a soft and warm mid-layer solution crafted from organic merino wool. Its key benefit is superior temperature regulation and comfort for sensitive skin, making it ideal for transitional weather or as an insulating layer in colder months. A caveat to note is that the natural wool fleece may change appearance and fray over time with wear and washing, which is characteristic of pure, unblended natural materials and does not affect its insulating properties.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of merino wool for children's clothing?

Merino wool is exceptionally soft, breathable, and naturally temperature-regulating, making it ideal for children's sensitive skin and active lifestyles. It keeps them warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm.

Why might the wool fleece change appearance or fray?

This is a natural characteristic of pure, unblended wool. Wear and washing can cause the fibers to fluff up or show minor fraying. This does not affect the wool's insulating or comfort properties.

Can this jacket be worn as an outer layer?

Yes, it can be worn as an outer layer during mild, dry weather. However, it is primarily designed as a versatile mid-layer for added warmth and insulation under a waterproof or heavier coat.

How should I wash the merino wool fleece jacket?

Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry.

Is this jacket suitable for newborns?

This specific product is sized for children aged 5-6 years (UK size 5-6). DILLING offers a range of merino wool clothing suitable for various age groups, including newborns.

Does the high collar cause discomfort?

The high standing collar is designed to protect the neck from cold and wind. The soft merino wool material ensures it remains comfortable against the skin, even when fully zipped up.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct size using the size chart. The elastic cuffs should provide a snug fit; if they are too tight, gently stretch them during washing or allow them to loosen naturally with wear.

Wool fibers are pilling or showing signs of wear.

This is a natural characteristic of pure wool fleece. Pilling can be managed by gently removing loose fibers with a wool comb or by washing the garment inside out on a gentle cycle. The core insulating properties remain unaffected.

Jacket does not seem to be regulating temperature effectively.

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from heavy soiling, which can impede breathability. Check that it is worn as a mid-layer with appropriate base and outer layers for the weather conditions.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and properties of the merino wool fleece:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a wool-specific detergent.
  2. Detergent: Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the wool fibers.
  3. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the jacket flat on a drying rack or towel away from direct heat or sunlight.
  4. Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary, preferably while the garment is still slightly damp.
  5. Fraying: Minor fraying is natural for pure wool fleece and does not impact its function. If significant fraying occurs, avoid excessive rubbing during washing.
