underwear 2-16 yrs



We have a wonderful range of vests, long-johns and pyjamas for children aged 2 years to 12 years and more!

The fabrics are some of the finest we know -

  • wonderful Merino wool in a fine knit to make the perfect, warm, breathable first layer,
  • wool/silk mix which adds the benefits and softness of silk for added next-to-the-skin comfort,
  • and pure organic cotton, all skin-safe and eco-friendly.

    Washing.You will find that the soft wool clothes don't need washing as much as cotton ones, so you don't need as many. Grown-ups have worn their vests non-stop for over a month and they've been fine (so they tell me) though you may like to wash these slightly more often...

    Our woollen garments are 100% natural and are not chemically treated to prevent shrinking. They can be machine-washed on 30C wool cycle, though if washed often may slowly shrink over time. If this happens, re-shape using hair conditioner! For washing, use wool shampoo (we stock some in the Essentials category) or Ecover liquid detergent for delicates, as normal detergents are designed for cotton, and are too harsh for these natural fibres.

    Sizing. Sizes have been translated from height-in-cm sizes, or German/Continental sizes, as follows:
    Height - Age
    92cm -- 1.5-2.5yrs, sometimes 2-3 years
    104cm -- 3-4yrs
    116cm -- 5-6yrs
    128cm -- 7-8yrs
    140cm -- 9-10yrs
    152cm -- 12yrs
    164cm -- 14yrs
    176cm -- 16yrs

    We recommend sizing up for the larger sizes. The stretchiness of the fabric allows plenty of room for movement and growth.
    Long-johns are very generous in the smallest sizes. You may want to consider the wool/silk baby trousers for a 12-24m child instead.

    Happy shopping!
