What's in the Box

Mock jacket with digitally printed pinstripe, pockets, and collar detail
Faux-fur two-tone vest with white chest bib
Moulded plastic fox mask with painted features and elastic strap

This Kids Fantastic Mr. Fox Costume brings Roald Dahl's cunning gentleman-farmer straight from the page to your child's Book Week parade. The burnt-orange jacket with printed pinstripe and charcoal vest layer over each other, with a white faux-fur chest piece creating Mr. Fox's signature dapper bib.

The jacket's coat-tail hem hits mid-thigh for that storybook silhouette, while the moulded fox mask features pointed ears, painted whiskers, and a black button nose. All three pieces slip on easily — the jacket-and-vest combo is sewn as one garment with a back neck closure, so there's no fiddling with separate layers on a busy morning.

Perfect For

Book Week & Literary Character Days: A natural choice for Roald Dahl character parades, World Book Day dress-ups, or any Book Week event celebrating classic children's literature.

School Performances & Story Time: Perfect for class readers tackling Fantastic Mr. Fox, autumn term assemblies, or library storytelling sessions where kids act out their favourite chapters.

Dress-Up Play & Birthday Parties: Great for Roald Dahl-themed birthday parties, Halloween trick-or-treating, or kindy photo days when your child wants to be the clever fox outsmarting farmers Boggis, Bunce, and Bean.

How to Wear It

Pair with dark brown or black school trousers and brown boots (not included) to complete the gentleman-farmer look. A toy shovel or basket of apples adds instant storybook authenticity for Book Week photos.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart image for chest and height measurements. The jacket-vest combo runs true to size with a relaxed fit that works over regular school clothes — handy if the classroom is chilly.

Can they wear this over their uniform?

Yes — the single-piece jacket-vest slips on over a school shirt and trousers. The faux-fur chest piece sits flat, so there's no bulk under the chin.

Is the mask comfortable for all-day wear?

The plastic mask has open eye holes and an open bottom for easy breathing. Some kids prefer to carry it between activities rather than wear it non-stop — totally fine for Book Week photos and parade moments.

Does this work for both boys and girls?

Absolutely. Mr. Fox is a beloved character for all readers, and the unisex fit means any Roald Dahl fan can rock this costume at Book Week or dress-up events.

Care: Wipe mask with a damp cloth; spot-clean fabric pieces and air dry.
