I know it's a matter of stereotypes, but the last pair screams Vietnam ;-)

I was thinking more, "I feel the need... the need for speed!" The middle one makes me think of Indiana Jones.

Well there not goggles but here's my headphones. They were manufactured in the 20s. And re-wired by me earlier this year after reading the excellent piece by Molly 'Porkshanks' Friedrich on The Steampunk Workshop. I avoided any unnecessary tin snipping. However the original Bakelite covers had deteriorated to much to be of any use. So new covers were fabricated from Italian leather offcuts.

Nice leather work! How do they sound?

Really quite good. They took a bit of getting used to, but once you have them sat on your ears correctly then they are clear as a bell. I formed the leather over the original Bakelite covers whilst still wet, then allowed it to dry.

Hello all,
First post :)
I just wanted to show off two recently completed pairs. I deliberately stayed away from the weathered, vintage look, having gotten a little weary of it!
This second pair is Hollywood meets dieselpunk (the goggles are actually stark white, the light makes them look pinkish). They're quite sparkly and glamorous under club lighting.
