In modern fashion, at almost every show of the new season, headphones can be seen among all headdresses. Yes, it is the fur earmuffs for the cold. And everything happened in 1877. Chester Greenwood invented them when he was 15 years old. He loved to skate, and one day, trying out a new pair of skates in a bitter cold, Chester wrapped his head in a scarf. But the scarf was prickly. Then he made two wire earloops and asked his grandmother to sew fur on them. Here is such a small, it seemed, invention, but it was picked up by everyone and received the name "Champion fuses for the ears of Greenwood."
And a little later, Greenwood founded a factory for the production of headphones, albeit already improved, and became rich. During World War I, he supplied headphones to American soldiers.
Here I would like to note - how many of our Russian craftsmen, masters created incredible inventions !? And what?...
If you wish, you can make your own fur headphones. Almost every house has more than one fur hat, pieces from a sheepskin coat, fur collars that no one wears, or they just lie just in case, waiting in the wings. Using the fur from these products, you can make fur headphones, because they don't need a lot of fur.
You can buy ordinary headphones for listening to music, which can be connected to a smartphone, and covered with fur. As a result, it will be possible to combine business with pleasure and beauty!
If you don't have pieces of fur, you can make knitted headphones.
