Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Baby Merino Wool Fleece Jacket is designed for infants and toddlers, offering exceptional warmth and comfort for mid-season wear, particularly in car seats or strollers. Its key benefit is the natural insulation and breathability of 100% organic merino wool. A potential caveat is that, due to its natural material, the jacket's appearance may change over time with wear and washing, though this does not impact its functionality. Key features include its soft, brushed fleece interior, ribbed cuffs for a secure fit, and a unisex design.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter days?
This jacket is primarily designed for mid-season wear. For very cold winter conditions, it would be best used as a warm layer under a heavier winter coat.
How often should I wash the merino wool jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't need frequent washing. Airing the jacket out between uses can help keep it fresh. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions.
What does it mean for the appearance to change over time?
With natural wool, friction from wear and washing can cause the fibers to gently rub together, creating a slightly fuzzy or pilled appearance. This is a sign of a natural, unblended material and does not indicate damage or a loss of warmth.
Can I use a regular detergent?
It is best to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or a very mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and fabric softeners, as these can damage the delicate wool fibers.
What is the benefit of ribbed cuffs?
The ribbed cuffs provide a snug fit around the wrists, helping to keep the jacket in place and preventing cold air from entering the sleeves, thereby enhancing warmth and comfort.
Is the sizing UK standard?
The sizing indicated, such as '9-12', refers to typical baby age ranges in UK sizing. It is always recommended to check the specific measurements if available or compare with your child's current clothing.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be pilling or fuzzing.
This is a natural characteristic of 100% merino wool and does not affect the jacket's warmth or performance. Gentle washing and wearing will continue this process. You can gently remove loose pills with a wool comb if desired.
Baby feels too warm or too cold.
Merino wool is breathable, but temperature regulation also depends on layering. Adjust the layers underneath the jacket based on the ambient temperature. Ensure the jacket is not too tight, which can restrict airflow.
Jacket has lost its shape after washing.
Gently reshape the jacket while it is still damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching the garment excessively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear right out of the package.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program (30-40°C) or hand wash using a wool detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry or expose to direct heat.
- General Care: Due to its natural wool composition, the jacket may naturally pill or change appearance over time with friction from wear and washing. This is normal for unblended wool and does not affect its insulating properties. Reshape the garment while damp. Avoid prolonged soaking.
