I don’t know what the situation is where you live, but growing up, all the fathers in my country virtually wore the same fur hat. While women’s hats were mostly round, men’s were rather aerodynamic. They had that very specific, folded look, when not on someone’s head. I never liked them. Not until I realized that every one of these vintage hats could be turned into a DIY fur clutch. And it’s as simple as adding a zipper to a hat – which is like, basic DIY level, right?

What you need: vintage fur hat zipper thread and needle pins
Pin the zipper to the hat and see how it fits.
When it fits, stitch into place.
Since the hat already had a lining, I didn’t alter it in any other way (although inside pockets could come in handy).
