searching some ideas for vintage hot rod,race,goggles.....anyone have used one of this type?show me some kool ideas...by
I read recently that early automotive drivers wore goggles not because of rocks, wind, rain,grit... But because of horse shit ... All roads were covered with it by product of the main form of transportation until the 20's
Really? Perhaps that's why those long coats were used? Like the cowboys wear in foul weather? I'm surprised those guys didn't invent the full face helmet back then. Who want's to get roosted with that shit?!?!?! Gary
http://www.basisnz.co.nz Go to accessories then apparel. Good qaulity real leather. $1 NZ dollar is about.$.69 US so they will be even cheaper for you. Hope this helps.
You might look to J&P Cycle - they show some in the catalog. I've seen several types out there some look new plastic and others look vintage... WWW.jpcycles.com. I keep a pair hanging on our roadster dash for fun.
WWII Poloroid flying googles were pretty popular. Link below is not mine... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350370413287
