It is starting to get to be sweater weather out there... well for me at lease. So, I thought I should mod my old hoodie with some Headphones. I have been using them for a few week now and love it!!! If anything they are great just as ear muffs! It is simple to do, and so far, working out greater then I expected.
It took me about four hours from start to finish.
What you need:
sweater that has a double lining (head phones go in between the linings)
over ear head phones
needle and thread (you might want to read this great instuctable, www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Sew
saran wrap or a sandwich bag
lighter/fire
electrical tape
8-10 safety pins
two normal sized rubber bands
sharp blade
pliers
paperclip
Here is how I did it
First, take apart some over-ear head phones... I'm not going to walk you though this because it wont be the same for everybody but remember you need to leave some plastic around the front of the speakers.

Signing UpStep 1Waterproofing headphones
Please note eventhough my headphones are water proof and weashable yours may not.
Once you got the speakers out of the housing, use ether saran wrap or a sandwich bag and cover the speaker. Take the paper clip and wrap it around the plastic tightly, snip off any excess paper clip.
Tear off some excess or the bag or saran wrap so there is a few inches of the bag or saran wrap coming out from the other side of the paper clip.
Twist the loose bag or saran wrap tightly around the wire and then carefully light the bag or saran wrap with a lighter to melt the bag or saran wrap around the wire. BE CAERFUL! the melted the bag or saran wrap IS hot and if touched it can stick to you and BURN!!! Also, Don't hold the flame to long you do want to melt the headphone wire!
When it has cooled, take some electrical tape and starting on the headphone wires wrap the tape around the wire until you reach the base of the speaker.
