What's in the Box

Blue pinstriped tailcoat jacket with faux fur chest panel
Detailed fox character mask with painted features
Coral pink neckerchief

This Kids Fantastic Mr Fox Costume brings Roald Dahl's dapper woodland gentleman to life with a blue pinstriped morning coat, detailed fox mask, and coral neckerchief. The jacket features white faux fur at the chest creating the fox's signature belly, while the molded mask captures the character's clever expression with painted brown-and-tan markings, black nose, and white muzzle.

The tailcoat styling with long back panels gives that country squire elegance Fantastic Mr Fox is known for. Blue-and-white pinstripes on quality fabric, faux fur panel integrated at the front, and the coral neckerchief add finishing touches to the look. Pair with brown trousers and boots (not included) for the complete woodland gentleman ensemble.

Perfect For

Book Week & Roald Dahl Days: A standout pick for Fantastic Mr Fox parades, Roald Dahl character dress-up days, or any literary costume event celebrating classic children's books.

School Character Parades: Natural choice for World Book Week costume competitions, book character assemblies, or school productions — instantly recognisable to teachers and classmates who know the story.

Story Time Dress-Up: Great for library visits, storytelling events, or reading challenge celebrations where kids get to dress as their favourite book characters.

How to Wear It

Pair with brown corduroy trousers and brown boots to complete the look — the contrast between the blue coat and brown trousers is pure Fantastic Mr Fox. Skip modern trainers; lace-up boots or brown shoes match the period style.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart image for chest and height measurements. The jacket runs true to size through the chest with room for layering a long-sleeve shirt underneath.

Does my child need to wear anything else under the jacket?

Yes — brown trousers and a shirt are not included. The jacket and faux fur panel work best over a plain shirt or turtleneck; brown corduroy or twill trousers complete the country gentleman look.

How does the mask attach?

The fox mask has an elastic strap that fits around the back of the head. It's lightweight molded plastic so your child can wear it comfortably for the school day without overheating.

Is this costume machine washable?

Spot-clean the jacket and neckerchief with a damp cloth; avoid machine washing the faux fur panel. The mask wipes clean with a soft cloth.

Care: Spot-clean jacket; wipe mask with damp cloth; air dry neckerchief.
