Frequently Asked Questions
A little help, all in one place.
Find answers about their jacket, your order and what happens next.
Sizing & jackets
How do I choose the right size?
Start with our Size Guide and check your child’s height. Age labels are a guide only. For the best comparison, lay a jacket your child already wears comfortably flat and compare its chest, length, sleeve and shoulder measurements with the finished jacket measurements shown in our guide.
Are the measurements for my child or the jacket?
The child-height range refers to your child’s body height, measured barefoot from the floor to the top of the head. Chest, length, sleeve and shoulder are finished garment measurements taken from the jacket itself. They are not child body measurements.
What does the number on the label inside the jacket mean?
Our supplier uses numeric garment label codes that are different from the age-style sizes shown in our store. The mapping is: 1–2Y = 90, 3–4Y = 100, 4–5Y = 110, 5–6Y = 120, 7–8Y = 130, 9–10Y = 140 and 11–12Y = 150. The numeric label is a supplier garment code; it is not a US size and should not be read as the child’s exact height.
Why are child heights shown in both inches and centimeters?
We show inches first for US shoppers and centimeters underneath as the reference measurement. The inch values are direct conversions from the centimeter ranges and are rounded to the nearest 0.1 inch. If your child falls exactly on a boundary between two sizes, compare the finished jacket measurements before choosing.
What if my child is between sizes?
Age is only a guide. Compare your child’s height first, then compare the finished jacket measurements with a jacket that already fits comfortably. Also allow for the layers your child is likely to wear underneath. If your child falls directly on a height boundary, use the garment measurements to decide which fit you prefer.
Can the jacket measurements vary slightly?
Yes. The jackets are measured manually, so normal differences of approximately 1–3 cm (about 0.4–1.2 in) may occur. Measurements shown in inches are converted from the supplier’s centimeter measurements and rounded to the nearest 0.1 inch.
What are the jackets made from?
The jackets are 100% polyester fleece with slight stretch, a regular fit, long sleeves, a stand collar, zip fastening and pockets.
Are these waterproof winter coats?
These are fleece jackets for everyday layering. They are not listed as waterproof coats and have no tested temperature rating. Add appropriate outer layers for wet or very cold conditions.
How do I care for the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Line dry in the shade. Do not iron or dry clean.
