Shirt Fabric: Brownie Plaid A5 Size (fits Cousin) - Techo Lineup

Shirt FabricBrownie PlaidA5 Size (fits Cousin)

This basic plaid design is unaffected by fads, but still provides a techo cover with a playful feel.

The base of the design is a calming color scheme of brown, black, and white. Added to that is a pop of red and blue thin lines.

This comfortably soft, woven fabric is designed for button-up shirts for year-round use. This makes it perfect for a techo cover you carry with you every day. The supple fabric gives it a smooth and pleasant feel.

The polyester fabric cover interior looks chic with its navy color, and is as soft as cotton but with a reduced luster.

The neat and polished look of this cover allows it to feel clean and retain a uniqueness that appeals to all demographics.

*In the Hobonichi Techo 2024 lineup, the Cousin book is available as the Japanese edition and the English edition.

(The English edition is only available as the January start version.)

Please Read Before You Buy

In order to provide you with the most satisfaction for your product, we've compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Please be sure to read this information carefully before placing your order.

Actual specifications may vary from listing: Each item is individually assembled and sewn by hand by a factory worker. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but there may be slight differences.
Pattern alignment varies by product: The patterned fabric has not been aligned to a specific layout, so the placement of each design will vary by product. The product will not be an exact replica of the one in the product photographs.
Pattern does not align across pocket: The outer pocket is not designed to align with the layer beneath it, so the pattern will not line up perfectly across this section.
Color and print may vary slightly: This material is first printed or dyed and then later sewn onto the cover. While colors are designed to be consistent, there may be uneven coloring or slight shade variances between covers. This may also happen across a single cover, such as a pocket compared to the rest of the cover. In addition, on rare occasions, there may be small black or white dots visible on the print. This is an unavoidable aspect of the manufacturing process.
Cover may contain variations in stitching or loose lining: Due to the structure of the cover that opens flat 180 degrees, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose.
Pen holders are rigid at first: The pen holders are rigid at first, making it difficult to insert pens. You can speed up the breaking-in process by rolling the pen holders in your hand.
Pen holder fits pens up to 13.5 mm wide: The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2 mm (0.48”) diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free Hobonichi Store Exclusive. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5 mm (0.53”) in diameter.
Avoid storing in hot and humid places: Please avoid storing your product in hot, humid places or placing it atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower quality and color stains.
