Size Guide
ABOUT THE FABRIC
Our merino fleece is a unique fabric that we first developed in 2015 and have been improving on each year.
Our merino fleece looks and feels like soft sweatshirting on the outside, and has a beautiful brushed and fluffy finish on the inside. Consisting of 83% merino wool, and 17% elastane, our fleece is a Woolmark certified wool rich blend. The elastane has been an improvement we’ve made to the fabric over recent years, to provide a comfortable stretch. Enjoy all of the incredible natural benefits that our lush merino wool has to offer, with the timeless look of sweatshirting, all while being machine washable and easy to care for. With superior softness, breathability, temperature regulation, moisture and odour control, merino is the perfect choice for little adventurers.
Naturally Pure
Woolmark and OEKO-TEX approved
All of our merino meets the strict Woolmark standards of exacting quality, traceability and eco-friendly production. It also meets the OEKO-TEX 100 Standard, designed to ensure textile products are free from harmful substances.
Super soft Merino
Naturally good for everyday comfort
Soft, warm and kind on the skin. Never itchy, our superfine merino wool fabric keeps kids comfy all year round. It’s hypoallergenic, wicks away moisture and regulates their temperature. And it’s durable, making it perfect for everyday basics.
Extra Fine
19.5 micron fibres for incredible softness
Not all merino is created equal. The wool fibres in our all-natural merino fabrics are categorised as Extra Fine, with a diameter of 18.5 microns or less in our Basics range and 19.5 microns or less in our heavier weight outerwear.
Easy Care
Conveniently machine washable
Our Woolmark certified merino is approved for machine washing, meeting their strict performance standards for fibre content, colour fastness to light and liquid, durability, and laundry testing.
Practical Basics
Clothing made for busy days
Parenting small children has enough complications. We look for ways to make our clothing practical, durable and easy for kids with features like double ended zips, reinforced domes, or built-in mittens.
This garment is Woolmark rich blend certified
The Woolmark logo means this garment has passed strict performance tests for fibre content, colour fastness, durability, and wash care. It guarantees high-quality merino that’s 100% natural, renewable, and biodegradable — with a fully traceable supply chain.
This garment is OEKO-TEX certified
The OEKO-TEX 100 Standard is a comprehensive set of criteria designed to ensure that textile products are free from harmful substances. It covers every stage of production, from raw materials to finished garments, and sets limits on the use of chemicals that could potentially pose risks to human health.
Absolutely love this vest. My son wears it all the time, the perfect weight and warmth for an added layer in winter. Suits the long sleeved merino tee underneath . So gutted I didn't buy the size 2 for next winter . Fingers crossed your getting them back in stock .

Perfect!
I love the style, quality and practicality. So much easier to put a vest than a cardie on babies. Specially with a zip! I wish they had this in the colour Tui too. Love this so much!

Best for changing seasons!!!
Love this vest so much. Super for changing seasons to layer up! They got the same quality as a jacket and pants which are fabulous for winter! We use it in Germany! Amazing quality super warm and so soft! Nothing on the market compares! I keep buying bigger sizes and would recommend to anyone! If you hesitate just buy it, you won’t regret it.
