Start with the fabric order, not the outfit photo
When you layer a puffer jacket for kids, the inner layer does most of the work against the skin. The Sawyer Knit Jumper - Umber is made from 100% cotton, which the catalog describes as breathable, gentle, and comfortable against delicate skin. That makes it a sensible first layer under a jacket rather than a bulky middle piece.
The Jethro Puffer Jacket-Eclipse adds the outer shell. Its shell and body lining are 100% cotton, the sleeve lining is 100% nylon, and the fill is 100% polyester. The catalog describes it as warm yet lightweight for easy movement. Together, the two pieces give you a cotton-rich inner layer and a quilted outer layer without claiming a temperature rating or thermal performance that the supplied information does not confirm.
A simple layering routine for colder days
- 1. Put on the knit jumper first: The Sawyer Knit Jumper has a classic crew neckline and ribbed cuffs and hem for a snug, comfortable fit. Wear it as the base layer so the cotton sits closest to the skin.
- 2. Check the sleeve and hem overlap: The jumper's ribbed cuffs should sit comfortably at the wrist before the jacket goes on. The Jethro Puffer has a nylon sleeve lining, so a smooth glide over the knit helps you avoid bunching.
- 3. Fasten the puffer with its snap buttons: The Jethro Puffer uses nickel-free snap buttons for safe and simple fastening. Close them after the jumper is settled so the jacket sits evenly over the knit.
- 4. Do a movement check before heading out: Ask your child to reach forward and bend their arms. The puffer is described as lightweight for easy movement, but the knit underneath should not pull tight across the chest or ride up at the back.
Use the size charts to avoid a tight or short layer
Both pieces come in the same size range, from 6–12 months through 8 years, which makes it easier to build a set in one size. The catalog lists chest measurements for both garments and notes that all pieces are hand cut, so allow a garment tolerance of approximately ±0.39 in to 0.59 in for the puffer and ±0.4 in to 0.6 in for the jumper.
The supplied records list length and chest figures in inches, but the size-guide tables are not fully aligned in the excerpt. Rather than guessing which number belongs to which size, use the chest measurements as a starting point and check the full size guide on each product page before ordering. If your child is between sizes, the tolerance note is a reminder that hand-cut garments can vary slightly.
What the two pieces are made of
-
Jethro Puffer Jacket-Eclipse: Shell: 100% Cotton; Body Lining: 100% Cotton; Sleeve Lining: 100% Nylon; Fill: 100% Polyester. The cotton shell and body lining sit over the knit jumper, while the nylon sleeve lining helps the jacket slide over sleeves.

Sawyer Knit Jumper - Umber: Crafted from 100% cotton, this knit is breathable, gentle, and comfortable against delicate skin. A cotton knit is a reasonable inner layer because it is described as breathable rather than heavy.

Keep the wash routine simple for both layers
Both the Jethro Puffer Jacket and the Sawyer Knit Jumper carry the same care guidance: we recommend a delicate wash in a laundry bag, follow the care label, wash on cold, and do not tumble dry. That shared routine makes the pair easy to manage after a day outdoors.
The puffer's polyester fill and nylon sleeve lining are part of what the catalog describes as cozy insulation while maintaining a lightweight feel. The supplied information does not include drying times, ironing instructions, or stain-treatment steps, so follow the care label on each garment rather than improvising.
How the two layers differ in daily use
- Inner layer: Sawyer Knit Jumper - Umber: 100% cotton knit with a cable texture, crew neckline, and ribbed cuffs and hem. The catalog describes it as breathable and comfortable against delicate skin, and as offering natural warmth without heaviness.
- Outer layer: Jethro Puffer Jacket-Eclipse: Quilted design with a cotton shell and body lining, nylon sleeve lining, and polyester fill. The catalog describes it as warm yet lightweight, with nickel-free snap buttons.
- Shared sizing range: Both are available from 6–12 months to 8 years. Check the chest measurements and tolerance notes on each product page rather than assuming the same size fits identically.
