Vintage Goggles for Today's Eyes
And be sure to keep a look out for brass goggles, so you'll be the envy of every Steampunk. :)
This week's featured Goggles
Dr Horrible's Goggles
The original goggles that Neil Patrick Harris wears in Dr. Horrible's Sing a Long Blog were made by a company called Fibre-Metal. They are just a particular style of welding goggles. Unfortunately, that particular style number, VG800-H5, is no longer made by Fibre-Metal, so you'll have to either cobble together your own pair or make do with a pair of welding goggles that are reasonable close.The goggles listed below are probably the closest styles to the Doctor Horrible goggles that Amazon carries.
For the best selection of vintage goggles in all styles, be sure to visit my Vintage Goggles website. And for another great pair of movie goggles that are hard to find, check out my page about the Chronicles of Riddick goggles.

The Must Have Steampunk Accessory
- Steampunk Goggles
- An absolutely gorgeous pair of handmade goggles, made from machined & polished brass and hand sewn leather. Just beautiful.
- Cyberpunk Goggles
- Custom made goggles for Cyperpunks and Steampunk. They have some cool goggles on this site, but the site is scary -- it's like the worst of MySpace and early 90s web design, circa Geocities (shudder!).
Some of the Best Goggles on Ebay

When this guy has auctions listed, he always has some of the best goggles available. Positively drool-worthy.

Other Interesting Eyewear on Ebay
Sometimes the right glasses aren't goggles, so I keep my eye out for other interesting pairs of spectacles. One thing to keep in mind: they aren't always in the eyewear section on Ebay. I find some great stuff under Collectibles: Scientific: Optical
