"My grandson is snug and toasty in this lovely vest"

This was washed... had to be careful

This was worn by... Grandson

Sizing: Feels true to size

I'd recommend this to a friend.

"These vests were great at first but didn't stand up well to being washed and shrank and felted. I have other items that are a silk wool mix that have washed fine time after time and held their shape. With small children this is a must as things need washing more often!"

This was washed... It shrank

I wouldn't really recommend this to a friend.

"Hello lovely Cambridge Baby Customer (I am sorry I do not know your name),
Many thanks for your review.

We are sorry that you have had issues with the vests shrinking. It is rare that we get such feedback on these best selling staples but shrinking is unfortunately one of the possibilities when we choose to wear wool.

As Wool is naturally self-cleaning, naturally anti-bacterial and neutralises odours too and silk also releases dirt easily,we always say that after wearing, the best thing to do is to hang your silk/wool clothing to air rather than wash.

With small bits of dirt, they can be either wiped clean straight away or (if they are not the deep staining kind) left to dry then brushed off.

Obviously, these vests are best hand-washed at a maximum of 30C (lukewarm only, should feel coolish), then gently squeeze water out and wrap your wool clothes in a towel to remove the excess water. Air-dry naturally avoiding direct heat. So, hanging on a drying rack over the bath is good, or on a clothes horse.

Of course, we understand that this may not be practical, in which case we recommend the lovely 2-pack - Organic Cotton Child's Vest by Cosilana - http://www.cambridgebaby.co.uk/catalog/2-6-yrs/underwear/for-tops/2-pack-organic-cotton-childs-vest - which you can happily machine wash on a 40°c cotton cycle again and again.

Kind regards,
Agnès

"It is warm and comfortable and beautifully made. Sadly the neckline and shoulders are visible under a number of my scoop-neck winter tops. So I would have appreciated another option with a lower neckline and less on the shoulder. Sizing was a bit too generous to my mind (for a size 14)."

"I am buying these type of tights for 2 years now, and I am very pleased with them. My son's feet started to smell because of the synthetic fibers in the products we previously used (he was 2 at the time), so we switched to "all natural" and the problem went away. Even though my son is slim, the tights hang on (allbeit a bit large). I am also very pleased with the costumer service of the company."
