HOBONICHI TECHO 2018

    Blue GinghamA5 Size (fits Cousin)

    This prim, neat cover features a gingham checkered design printed in blue onto a white background. The cover’s look is softened by the coral pink pen holders and bookmarks.

    When you open the cover, the all-pink interior has a sweet, charming feel that provides a contrast against the strait-laced exterior.

    Look closely, and you’ll see that the checkered lines are not perfectly straight. They have some give to their shape to spice up this otherwise simple design.

    The material used in this cover is a finer polyester than our Colors cover series, giving this cover a natural feel reminiscent of cotton.

    Important: This cover costs slightly more when purchased individually than when purchased as a cover + book set. (Book price does not change.)

    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.

    All covers are hand-made and may contain slight variances

    Each and every cover is individually sewn by a factory worker hand-operating a sewing machine. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but there may be slight differences.

    Pattern alignment varies by cover

    The patterned material has not been aligned to a specific layout, so the placement of each design will vary by cover. The cover will not be an exact replica of the one in the product photographs.

    Design may contain smudges or uneven coloring

    During the print process, patterns may contain spots where the color has become smudged or uneven.

    White spots around stitching

    The design is printed over white material, so the sewing process may expose white areas around the stitches.

    Outer pocket pattern may not align perfectly

    The outer pocket is designed to align with the pattern beneath it, but pattern alignments may be imperfect due to the manual production process.

    Exterior pattern may be slightly uneven

    During production, the plaid pattern on the exterior material may become slightly uneven or tilted.

    Interior of cover may be loose

    The interior of the cover may not be perfectly taut due to limitations during the manufacturing process.

    Cover may attract dust

    The cover exterior contains a raised-nap finish that may attract dust or other particles. You can use a lint roller to clean the cover, but be sure to avoid using tape with excessively strong adhesive as this may damage the material.

    Sliding no-slip pens into the pen holder

    Pens with rubber, non-slip grips may be difficult to slide into the pen holder.

    Maximum pen width of 13.5mm for pen holder

    The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2mm (0.48”) diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free bonus gift with select Japanese-version Hobonichi Web Shop products. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5mm (0.53”) in diameter.

    “Cover Only” price change

    Due to an increase in material costs and other unavoidable factors, starting with the 2017-edition, it has become difficult to maintain the usual price of our Colors and Faux Fabric covers. In order to maintain the price of the covers, we will be offering these covers at the usual price when bought as a set with the Hobonichi Techo book. We apologize for the trouble, but when ordering the cover without a book, we will not be able to keep that price, so Cover Only orders will cost slightly more. Please add to your cart as a “Book & Cover set” to keep the cover’s lower price.

    Color may vary slightly based on viewing screen

    The color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.
