Salvation Army store - need suggestions

So I found a six mink, three strand wrap today at the local Salvation Army store, for a whopping $10.

I'm thinking of using one of the non-head strands to line the opening of a hood. I'm also thinking of using the rest to line my wool Viking-style tunic, or maybe the fringe of a winter cloak.

Any suggestions?

Hood, collar, sleeves, hem of tunic, jerkin, gambassen or coat. They make a great rim on pouches bags and satchels, one would do for a rim on a quiver to soften the sound of arrows. Great top liner for boots or gloves for winter too!
Just a few of the top of my head. :mrgreen:

(and hat rims don't forget hat rims!)

This makes me want to go get some fur. I especially like the idea of riming the quiver so the arrows down smack against the leather.
