Product Information

Full details

This DILLING Merino Wool Fleece Jacket in Grey is designed for children, offering a soft, warm, and temperature-regulating layer perfect for mid-season or as an insulator in colder months. Its key benefit is the natural comfort and breathability of merino wool, which keeps children comfortable by adapting to their body temperature. A potential caveat is that the wool fleece may change appearance and fray over time with wear and washing, which is a natural characteristic of the material and does not affect its performance.

FAQs

Is merino wool itchy for children?

No, DILLING uses exceptionally fine merino wool fibres that are naturally soft and non-itchy, even for sensitive skin. The brushed fleece finish enhances this softness.

How often should I wash the jacket?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often air out the jacket between wears instead of washing. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions.

Can this jacket be worn as an outer layer?

Yes, in dry, mild conditions. However, for wet or very windy weather, it is best used as a mid-layer under a protective outer shell.

What does 'may change appearance' mean?

It refers to natural wool processes like pilling (forming small balls of fiber) or slight fraying on the surface from friction during wear and washing. This is normal for 100% natural wool and does not impact its insulating or breathable properties.

What is the temperature regulation benefit?

Merino wool fibres have a unique structure that can trap air, providing insulation in cold. When it's warmer, the fibres can help release heat and moisture, preventing overheating. This keeps the child's body temperature more stable.

What size should I choose?

The jacket is sized for children based on age and UK sizes. For the '3-4' size, it generally fits children aged 3 to 4 years. Check the specific measurements if available, or consider sizing up for longer wear.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and a low-temperature wash cycle. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat. Air dry completely.

Pilling or 'fuzzing' on the surface.

This is a natural characteristic of wool fleece. You can gently remove pills with a fabric comb or shaver if desired, but it does not affect the jacket's warmth or function.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Ensure the jacket is laid flat when zipping.

Child feels cold despite wearing the jacket.

Verify that the jacket is the appropriate layer for the temperature. For colder conditions, ensure it's used as a mid-layer under a windproof/waterproof outer shell. Check that cuffs and collar are snug.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Suitable for all children, especially those with sensitive skin or for use in varying weather conditions. It pairs well with other DILLING merino wool base layers and outerwear.

Care:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to air dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape while damp.
  3. Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary.
  4. Bleaching/Soaking: Do not bleach or soak the garment.
  5. Appearance Change: Embrace the natural evolution of wool fleece; minor pilling or fraying is normal and does not impact performance.
