How they fit in real life
Our woolies are designed to grow with your kiddo! Learn more on our fit page.
My son loves the free range hoodie. He used it while skiing, going to the park, traveling in Norway, and hanging around the house. He used it as a base layer, a light sweatshirt over a T-shirt, and a warm layer over a longjohn top. I’m sure I will continue to see it in his wardrobe choices throughout the spring summer and fall as we hike and bike.
Magnus loves the hood! Perfect for 50’s and 60’s F!
We have two of these. And have given as gifts. My daughter has worn these for over a year, and still room to grow. Adorable, functional, long lasting clothes that support an Alaska mama - we will continue to buy as we grow!
My 5yo loves this hoodie! It’s warm and breathable and colorful, it checks all the boxes. Not itchy, just comfortable. The hood is a particular favorite part! It held out well all winter and I’m anticipating it will for many more.
We love our Wild Haven Wools set! It is our go to thing to put our son in. The quality and comfort of the product is unmatched! The company itself is pretty great also. After over a year of playing in our set a small hole had worn in the pants, one quick email to the company and they were happy to send a patch for a repair. We look forward to buying more when our next little one is here!
Thanks for the kind review Autumn! I am so glad that they are a favorite and the patch is working. Little holes are pretty standard for 100% merino but if they get patched quick, then they don't turn into BIG holes! FYI - if you ever need a repair, you can always sned them back to us and we will repair for free. Keep on adventuring! Warm wishes, Julia
It is so nice to support a small business that creates a quality product! We wanted to find 100% natural fiber base layers for my kids and myself--and what a bonus that these can be worn as a base layer or a top layer! For the kids items we purchased, we really appreciate the thoughtfulness of the design to allow these products to be worn for multiple year. The customer service was wonderful and we highly recommend investing in Wildhaven Wools!
I bought a size up, so he could wear it for a while. And he has been absolutely loving it. It is quite a bit big on him for now, but we just roll up the sleeves.
I love the Alaskan colorway we have in this and especially the hood! The hoodie is such a great fit for my 2 year old and he's still got so much room to grow. I love having a light warm layer that is easy to fit under every jacket or warm enough on its own. But the hood really makes it next level, its just such a cozy fit around his little head and actually stays on! He must like it because its possibly the only hood/hat he will allow me to keep on his head. Great design, love the colors, amazing fit!
This lightweight merino is perfect for layering in cooler weather and by itself in warm weather! Both of our kids love the mountain design and the colors. The softness and grow with me sleeves ensure it will remain a favorite of theirs and ours!
Thanks you so much for the review! I really apprecite it :)

Growth-spurt Proof
Made to last.
Our base layers are designed so you will only need one set to last several years. Grow-with-me design means our clothes fit 3x longer than conventional kids clothing, saving our customers time and money and keeping waste out of the landfill.
We don't want you to buy more. We want you to buy one quality set you will use, and wear them everyday.
What is Sustainable Fashion?
Better materials, less waste.
At Wildhaven, we call ourselves a "sustainable kids clothing brand", but what does that mean? To us, that means using natural biodegradable materials like merino wool and sourcing from ethical factories with the highest eco-standards. It also means making practical durable kids clothes that last, not just for one season, but for years.
