I redeemed my points, however the amount it took off my order was a lower value. Why is this?

As we’re located in Australia, our rewards program runs in AUD. The price difference you're seeing is due the currency conversion from here to your local currency.

Fabric dust jackets

What's the best size for me?

The easiest way to check what size you need, is to measure the height (spine) of your book, and check this against our size chart guide which you'll find in the product images for every dust jacket.

USA: We recommend 9.5 and 9.25 for your tall hardcovers, 9 for your tall paperbacks, and 8.25 for your short paperbacks. 8.5 is also a common size for your collection.

UK/Aus/Rest of world: We recommend 9.5 for your tall hardcovers, 9.25 for your tall paperbacks, and 7.75 for your short paperbacks. 8.5 is also a common size for your collection.

Still not sure on sizing? Drop a question in the chat box (bottom left corner of your screen), or flick an email across to us at support@charlieandfox.com.au - we're always more than happy to help!

And for a more in-depth look at the sizes, check out our blog post here.

Do these work on both hardcover and paperback books?

They sure do! Our fabric covers are designed to work on both hardcover and paperback books.

What size do I need for FairyLoot books?

For your beautiful tall FairyLoot hardcover books (royal size), you're going to want the 9.5/24.1 size, which is designed for tall hardcovers up to 9.5 inches / 24.1cm in height.

If you have any of the short FairyLoot hardcovers, go for the 8.25/21cm size.

What size do I need for Sarah J. Maas?

Tall hardcovers (universal): 9.5"/24.1cm size

Tall paperbacks (Australia/UK): 9.25"/23.5cm size

Tall paperbacks (USA): 9"/22.9cm size

Short paperbacks (Australia/UK): 7.75"/19.7cm size

Short paperbacks (USA): 8.25"/21cm size, we do recommend double checking this just in case you have the shorter 7.75" editions

Are they waterproof?

While the cotton exterior fabric will absorb small amounts of moisture, we can't guarantee any protection of your books against water damage. The edges of your book pages will also still be exposed, so we recommend taking extra care when your book is around water and other liquids.

How do I clean my dust jacket?

Gentle cold wash by hand or machine (if using machine, place in garment bag), and lay flat to dry. Do not tumble-dry, as this can shrink your dust jacket.

Warm iron recommended only for non-foiled fabric, as heat & rubbing can damage foiled designs.

I’ve received my dust jacket and it’s slightly bigger than what the website size says. Is this right?

The sizing details on our website (e.g. 9.5"/24,1cm) refers to intended book size for each fabric dust jacket. The dust jacket itself will be slightly taller than this to allow room for your book to slide into the pocket of the dust jacket without bending or damaging your corners.

I'd love to make my own, can you share your pattern?

We're flattered that you love our design enough to want to make your own, however we don't share our patterns or design specs.

While we don't own the concept of dust jackets in general, the IP that we've created within Charlie & Fox to design our *specific* fabric dust jackets is protected, and we'd be remiss if we didn't at least refer you to our website Terms of Service in this regard (Section 10: Intellectual Property).

Do your dust jacket sizes change?

We have a small tolerance (+/- 2mm) for our design specs, as each of these are individually made by hand so you may notice tiny differences between individual dust jackets. We also made adjustments to improve the overall fit and versatility in mid-July 2025. With all of that being said, if you ever have any trouble with sizing and need to check with us, please don't hesitate to reach out to support@charlieandfox.com.au

Do these fit every single book?

While we can’t guarantee these will fit every book, we have made them to be as accommodating as possible and they will fit most books (providing they match the height in the size guide) from 250-900+ pages, depending on individual page thickness of course.

Padded book sleeves

What size do I need?

- not sure where to start? Go for a LARGE size, which is most universally popular.

- for small paperbacks/hardcovers, SMALL size is also handy

- for THICK tall hardcovers/paperbacks, EXTRA LARGE is great (also handy to tuck multiple books in at once)

Need more info? Drop a question in the chat box (bottom left corner of your screen), or flick an email across to us at support@charlieandfox.com.au, we're always more than happy to help!

Will a book fit in a book sleeve if it has a fabric dust jacket on it?

Our fabric dust jackets aren’t too bulky, so they don’t take up much extra room inside your book sleeve. If your book is quite snug already without a dust jacket on, we do recommend sizing up your book sleeve to give you that little bit of extra room for the dust jacket.

Can I use these for my iPad?

You sure can!

Size LARGE: suits iPad 11"

Size EXTRA LARGE: suits iPad 13"

looking for iPad mini? Go for a tall e-reader sleeve

Are they waterproof?

While the cotton exterior fabric and padding will absorb small amounts of moisture, we can't guarantee any protection of your books against water damage.

How do I clean my book sleeve?

Gentle cold wash by hand or machine (if using machine, place in garment bag), and lay flat to dry. Do not tumble-dry, as this can shrink your book sleeve.

Warm iron recommended only for non-foiled fabric, as heat & rubbing can damage foiled designs.

Padded e-reader sleeves

What size do I need?

Our sizing has been designed to accommodate for the most common e-reader sizes.

Need more info? Drop a question in the chat box (bottom left corner of your screen) and we'll get back to you soon!

Will the e-reader sleeve fit if I have a case/popsocket?

All of our padded e-reader sleeves have a little bit of wiggle room built into them, so as long as your case isn't too bulky, your e-reader will definitely still fit with a case and/or popsocket attached.

Are they waterproof?

While the cotton exterior fabric and padding will absorb small amounts of moisture, we can't guarantee any protection of your device against water damage.

How do I clean my e-reader sleeve?

Gentle cold wash by hand or machine (if using machine, place in garment bag), and lay flat to dry. Do not tumble-dry, as this can shrink your book sleeve.

Warm iron recommended only for non-foiled fabric, as heat & rubbing can damage foiled designs.

My e-reader is too big for your sleeves, can you custom make one for me?

As much as we wish we could create customs, we unfortunately don't offer this service. If your device is bigger than our e-reader sleeve sizes, we recommend bumping up to one of our book sleeves. These all have the same padding, and are all made with magnetic snaps for a nice gentle close to keep your device snug & secure.
