The envelope defines a generally rectangular shape with a first long edge and an opposing second long edge. The envelope also defines a first short edge and an opposing second short edge. The clothing accessory includes a plurality of attachment structures that are provided adjacent each of the opposing first and second long edges within the envelope.
1. A clothing accessory comprising:
a flat envelope formed from a first piece of fabric and a second piece of fabric mated to form the envelope, the envelope defining a generally rectangular shape with a first long edge and an opposing second long edge and a first short edge and an opposing second short edge, the first piece of fabric forming an outer side and the second piece of fabric forming an inner side, the second piece of fabric configured to interface with an edge of a clothing garment; and
a first plurality of magnetic attachment structures provided between the first piece of fabric and the second piece of fabric and along the first long edge, the first plurality of magnetic attachment structures being magnetically attracted to a second plurality of magnetic attachment structures provided between the first and the second pieces of fabric and along the second long edge within the envelope,
wherein the flat envelope is foldable around a folding line that longitudinally bisects the rectangular envelope, and when folded, the first plurality of magnetic attachment structures aligns with the second plurality of magnetic attachment structures thereby coupling the first plurality of magnetic attachment structures to the second plurality of magnetic attachment structures.
2. The clothing accessory of claim 1 , wherein there is an interlining fabric positioned between the first piece of fabric and the second piece of fabric.
3. The clothing accessory of claim 1 , wherein the first piece of fabric resembles fur.
4. The clothing accessory of claim 3 , wherein the first piece of fabric has long and short sides that are greater in length than at least one of the interlining fabric and the second piece of fabric.
5. The clothing accessory of claim 1 , wherein the envelope is sized and shaped to be attached to at least one of a clothing garment edge and a boot edge.
6. The clothing accessory of claim 5 , wherein the clothing garment edge is defined by a hood of a coat.
7. A method of attaching a clothing accessory to an edge defined by a piece of clothing comprising:
providing a generally rectangular clothing accessory including:
a flat envelope formed from a first piece of fabric and a second piece of fabric mated to form the envelope,
a first long edge and an opposing second long edge;
a first short edge and an opposing second short edge;
a plurality of magnetic attachment structures provided adjacent each of the opposing first and second long edges, the plurality of magnetic attachment structures provided between the first piece of fabric and the second piece of fabric, wherein the clothing accessory is foldable along a folding line that longitudinally bisects the clothing accessory;
positioning the first long edge of the clothing accessory adjacent a first side of the clothing edge;
folding the clothing accessory over the clothing edge about the folding line of the clothing accessory;
positioning the second long edge of the clothing accessory adjacent a second side of the clothing edge; and
mating the plurality of magnetic attachment structures positioned at the first long edge with the plurality of magnetic attachment structures positioned at the second long edge.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the clothing edge is a boot edge.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the clothing edge is a collar.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the clothing edge is a coat hood edge.
11. A clothing garment comprising:
a clothing edge defined by a first side and a second opposing side; and
a removably attached clothing accessory including a flat envelope formed from a first piece of fabric and a second piece of fabric mated to form the envelope, the envelope defining a first long edge and an opposing second long edge and a first short edge and an opposing second short edge, wherein a plurality of magnetic attachment structures are provided adjacent each of the opposing first and second long edges of the clothing accessory between the first piece of fabric and the second piece of fabric, wherein the clothing accessory is foldable along a folding line that longitudinally bisects the clothing accessory, wherein the removably attached clothing accessory is folded along the folding line and attached to the clothing garment such that the first long edge of the clothing accessory is positioned adjacent the first side defining the clothing edge and the second long edge of the clothing accessory is positioned adjacent the second side defining the clothing edge with the plurality of magnetic attachment structures positioned at the first long edge mated with the plurality of magnetic attachment structures positioned at the second long edge to capture the clothing edge therebetween.
12. The clothing garment of claim 11 , wherein the clothing edge is defined by a coat hood edge.
13. The clothing garment of claim 11 , wherein the clothing edge is defined by a collar of the clothing garment.
14. The clothing garment of claim 11 , wherein the clothing edge is defined by shoe wear.
