9.25"/23.5cm PAPERBACK fabric dust jackets

9.25"/23.5cm PAPERBACK fabric dust jackets

Visual size guide

For the readers looking for our previous "medium" size dust jacket - this is the last of them!

We updated our fabric dust jacket sizes in 2025 so that the 9.25"/23.5cm dust jacket would fit both paperbacks hardcovers (previously was split into two different sizes).

This is the last of the old sizing in the 9.25" paperback, which is about 2-3mm shorter than the current 9.25". It's best suited for readers wanting a slightly snugger fit on their tall paperback books (note: not suited for 9.25" hardcovers).

Can I use fabric dust jackets on paperbacks?

You sure can! These are great for both hardcovers and paperback books.

Can I use a bigger dust jacket on a smaller book?

We don't usually recommend this as each dust jacket is designed for the intended book size (total length, ribbon placement, elastic placement). On smaller books, things are unlikely to line up well for a comfortable fit in a bigger dust jacket.

Where do you ship to?

We ship to nearly every country around the world from two locations:
California - for USA & Canada orders
Australia - for Aus and rest of world (including NZ, UK and Europe)

Are they waterproof?

The fabric layers will absorb small amounts of moisture, though we can't guarantee total 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.

Do you offer wholesale for retailers?

We sure do! If you're interesting in stocking Charlie & Fox in your store, please click this link to fill out our Retailer Expression of Interest form and we'll get back to you soon.

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 and warm iron only, as high heat this can shrink your dust jacket.

I've ordered the wrong size, can I exchange it?

Sure can! This falls within our Returns & Refunds policy which covers you for 30 days after your order arrives. Simply reach out to us at support@charlieandfox.com.au and we'll get this organised for you.

What size do I need for FairyLoot books?

FairyLoot tall hardcovers are 9.5" /24.1 cm

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
