Who created ear muffs?

Who created ear muffs?
Chester Greenwood invented them because when he was a child, he liked to ice skate, but he had to go inside early because his ears were cold. He took a piece of wire and two soft pads and asked his grandmother to sew the soft pads on the two ends of the wire. Chester was proud of himself because after he had his ear muffs, his friends went inside early, but he got to stay outside and ice skate because his ears were nice and warm!
