Don't forget you could make it without the gussets, so that it didn't fall open when you took the lid off. Instead, each side would need to be sewn together. You could do this after each lining piece is glued to the box outer, and of course, the elastic and pockets can be eliminated too. Is he a cufflinks, hankies and small change type of DH? you could make a miniature hex tray to put inside for the small change. (box lid and brim sides, like a miniature lid, but pad the inside, not the outside with batting).
