Product description
Children's comfortable silk wool long johns
Children's long johns are made of soft and warm silk wool. They feature flat seams and an adjustable waistband that runs in casing and does not come up against the skin.
The silk wool base layer is suitable for varying weather conditions in all seasons: it warms after a swim on cool summer days and provides just the right amount of extra warmth under everyday or outdoor clothing in mid-season or winter. The lightweight and wonderfully soft silk wool outfits are perfect to wear for sleeping, too.
Made from 30% natural silk and 70% organic merino wool. Silk wool combines the best of both natural fibres: the smoothness of silk and the warmth of wool. The comfortable lightweight knit is elastic and breathable. Silk wool absorbs moisture without feeling wet and freshens up with airing, so it doesn't require washing often.
Handmade in Artjärvi, Finland. No need to wash before use.

Size guide
Knitted fabrics made from natural fibres are elastic, and due to the properties of the material, product sizes may vary slightly. For this reason, we do not provide measurements of finished products, but size selection is based on your own body measurements.
Dimensions in the table are given in centimetres (cm).
| CHILDREN | 90 | 100 | 110 | 120 | 130 | 140 | 150 |
| Indicative age y | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 |
| Neck - wrist | 39 | 43 | 47 | 51 | 55 | 60 | 65 |
| Chest girth | 54 | 57 | 60 | 64 | 68 | 72 | 76 |
| Waist circumference | 53 | 55 | 57 | 59 | 61 | 63 | 66 |
| Hip circumference | 58 | 60 | 64 | 68 | 72 | 76 | 80 |
| Inside leg length (branch-to-floor) | 35 | 41 | 47 | 53 | 59 | 65 | 70 |
| Head circumference | 50 | 51 | 52 | 53 | 54 | 55 | 55 |
| Palm length from wrist to fingertips | 12 | 12 | 14 | 14 | 16 | 16 | 16 |
This is how you measure:
- Measure over bare skin or thin underwear.
- The easiest way to measure is with a tape measure. Make sure the tape measure is straight.
- If the measurements fall between the two measurements on the measurement chart, we recommend taking a smaller size as the products are strethcy.
- Remember to check the measurements on the correct size chart, especially for unisex products.
Tips for choosing your size:
- The measurements on the size chart are body measurements, which you can compare to find the right size.
- Our products are made to Finnish measurements, which means that they are generally a little looser than e.g. European sizes. If you are deciding between two sizes, a smaller size is probably sufficient if you prefer a more fitted look.
- Silk wool is more elastic than wool or silk, so keep this in mind, especially when selecting adult silk wool garments.
-
The knit of our wool products will slightly shrink when first washed. This is taken into account in the sizing, which is slightly loose before the first wash.

As we open the door and step inside the lower floor of the Old Dairy, the room is filled with a soft steady whir, paced by a faster buzz, click and then another buzz. Some twenty seamstresses are working. This is where the heart of Ruskovilla is.
