Kids Trousers & Dresses made of Natural Fibres
Kids' pants have a tough job: lots of movement, often all day long, constantly changing temperatures indoors and out. To avoid constantly changing the child in between, we rely on materials for our pants and dresses that balance temperature instead of overheating – merino wool, boiled wool, and linen, depending on the season and occasion.
Which material for what?
Our fine-knit pants made of pure merino wool are the uncomplicated all-rounders for indoors and out. The high waistband keeps the belly and back warm without pinching, and the wool regulates itself – if the child is active, it wicks away moisture; if they are still, it keeps them warm. Boiled wool pants and culottes are the right choice for cooler outdoor weather: more compact, warmer, and water-repellent enough so that a light rain shower doesn't immediately soak through. For summer, we have pants made of pure linen – loosely cut, breathable, and comfortable to wear even on hot days.
Grow-along designs
We design our pants so that they usually fit over two sizes. This works through elastic waistbands at the belly and legs – the pants are a bit longer at first, the waistband can be rolled up, and over time, they fit perfectly. This is not only practical but also more honest: children grow in spurts, and good pants should accommodate that.
Dresses and skirts
For dresses, we emphasize that they not only look good but are also suitable for everyday use: wide cuts in which one can run, climb, and sit on the ground. Combined with tights or leggings underneath, they work all year round.
Everyday care
Wool needs less washing than most people think – airing it out is often enough. If washing is necessary: wool program at 30 °C or hand wash with wool detergent, then dry flat. Linen pants can handle a normal wash at 30–40 °C and become softer with each wash.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which material is best for each season?
Merino wool is suitable for three out of four seasons – it regulates temperature, so it’s not too warm in spring and not too cold in autumn. Boiled wool is the warmest option and is designed for winter and cool transitional days. Linen is the right choice for summer, as it wicks moisture and remains comfortable even in high temperatures.
Does the high waistband feel tight on the stomach?
No. The waistbands are knitted to be elastic and gently adapt to the stomach without digging in. Especially for toddlers who spend a lot of time sitting or crawling, this is more comfortable than a traditional waistband with buttons or zippers.
How long does a grow-with-me pair of pants fit?
Usually across two sizes, meaning about one season longer than regular pants. At first, the waistband may be folded or the fit slightly looser, and as the child grows, it fits perfectly. The best indicator for sizing up is the leg length.
Does wool itch on the skin?
Not with our pants. The merino wool we use has very fine fibers and feels soft on the skin – even when worn directly without tights underneath. What many people find itchy are coarser wool qualities, which we do not use.
Do boiled wool pants work in the rain?
Boiled wool is water-repellent, meaning droplets bead off and light rain is not a problem. In prolonged or heavy rain, boiled wool will eventually get wet, but it still provides insulation as long as it is not completely soaked. For very wet conditions, wearing rain pants over them is recommended.
How do I properly wash the pants?
Wool pants: use a wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C or hand wash with wool detergent, then dry flat – do not tumble dry. Linen pants: use a gentle cycle at 30–40°C and preferably hang to dry. For both: do not dry on a heater.
