EDIT:
I should have stuck with my original plan to JUST LOOK and NOT BUY ANYTHING.
I really like the look of these goggles and they're half the price. Thank you, Windrose. Maybe there's a return plan, or maybe they'll consider buying them back.


I stopped by the A/N Surplus store at lunch, and decided that I didn't like any of the clothes. I picked up lots of googles, though, either for loan or for selling/gifting. (Windrose? Do you like any of these styles?)
They could use some crafty steampunk retooling, but I'm not certain exactly how to start that yet.

These apparently belonged to a mig pilot.


The phrase "Russian rocket crew" was used with these. They come with their own case--I like the rivets and leather but something must be done about the green plastic.


I got a set of extra lenses for these two. They have little leather nosepieces.


They come with instructions!
....Or maybe passport applications.

I can't wear glasses with any of them, so they're definitely not driving goggles. I think swapping out the elastic bands for some sort of.... leather maybe?... is in order. Maybe some paint. Gewgaws, doo dads, copper wiring, *something*.

I'll have to point Brian this way and see if he can't help you out with some suggestions...

Hunh! No, I do not believe I recall this being mentioned!
I approve of this plan.

That's my friend, Jon, planning it (the one married to Molly, not the one married to Jennie. Heh.)

I'm planning to help him in any way I can, 'cause how cool would it be to have a Steampunk con right here in the Bay Area?

I believe 'pretty darn cool' is the response here. (:
Did you see Makers Faire at all?

No, I'd never heard of it until this year.

See, I hear "Makers Faire" and I think of this stuff:

Which should come as no great shock to anybody who's been paying attention. (:
