My Friend Andrew Akardon of Mommy’s Busy, Go Ask Daddy had a giveaway for a pair of Steampunk Goggles and I really, really wanted to win them. I entered the contest but didn’t win. However, Andrew being the excellent human that he is, introduced me to the folks at Steampunk Goggles. They offered me the same deal that Andrew had, try a pair for myself and offer a pair as part of a giveaway. I was only too happy to oblige.
I looked through the goggles and decided upon the Airship Navigator Goggles with Purple Lenses. I picked that pair because of the purple lenses and the double eye loupe. I also liked the Bronze compass rose ornaments on the sides and how these all complimented the black and bronze colors of the goggles.
The goggles are very comfortable. With an adjustable strap and soft eye cups these were pleasant to wear. Although, they looked best on my forehead as evidenced above. I think that really appealed to me about these goggles was that they looked like someone from Firefly would have work them. Maybe Jayne Cobb or someone. I may have to wear these with my Jayne Cobb hat sometime soon.
Later this month I’m actually going to get to meet Andrew for the very first time in person. We’re getting together for lunch and also a chance to shoot some photos together while wearing our Steampunk Goggles. And I can’t think of a better place to get together to do this than New York City, another place that makes me think Steampunk for some reason.

These look awesome!
Great review, Drew! And thanks for the kind words! Looking forward to scaring some New Yorkers with you later this month!
Andrew,
That will be great. I cannot wait. I’ve been looking for a good hat to go along with my goggles. I’ve caught the Steampunk bug.
On their site, I like the Smokey Miner Glasses.
Smokey Miner Glasses for sure
I like the Black and Bronze Steampunk Goggles with Blue Lenses
I am so in love with Steampunk right now. I love them all but the Deluxe Emerald City Compass Goggles with Double Eye Loupe are my favorite.
I love wearing goggles. Specially in blue color they are awesome…
I’m about to think what I should give to my girl in valentines day. After landed Steampunk it clicks idea to present this Goggle “Queen of Hearts Valentine Goggles”.
since they didn’t have a grandma style,,ill choose one I think my son would like,he is close to your age,,Black and Bronze Steampunk Goggles with Blue Lenses
Any of these would be perfect for the Steampunk fashion show i will be doing in the spring! AWESOME
Love the goggles. I like the clear lenses. I make miniatures and toy theaters, and use those double magnifiers on all my glasses when working, and love them outside when I walk in the park. Am always picking up interesting seed pods and love to see them through the magnifiers. It makes discovery so much more interesting to see the details. I also like the extra little visual bling on the goggles with the magnifiers. When the wind kicks up, you can bet I would wear them outside in the big city, too!
The Black and Bronze Steampunk Goggles with Blue Lenses best suit my style, they are my favorite color, have a nautical feel and just scream my name.
Steampunk Goggles has a great selection of goggles, and a very artistic deck of cards as the result of a successful kickstarter campaign…
I think the one I favor is the black and bronze with blue lenses. I’ve always likes the extra lenses on goggles.
Just an amazing selection of googles. My favorite and style was the Spiked Leather Goggles with Honeycomb Lenses.
Tough choice! I think I’d have to go with the Riveted Adventurer Steampunk Goggles though…I love the leather detailing!
Lots of good goggles on Steampunk goggles, but I would pick Vintage Lace & Pearl Steampunk Goggles as my favorite 🙂
These are awesome! I can think of a bunch of folks who will be jealous of the coolest ever steam punk goggles I won, until I tell them where they can buy their own.
the Black and Bronze Steampunk Goggles with Blue Lenses look sweet
Black and Bronze Steampunk Goggles with Blue Lenses!
I love the ones you are wearing the aviator steampunk with double loupe or the silver steampunk goggles with purple lenses and double loupes on both lenses. so awesome!
Love the Moulin Rouge pair, they’d match my date and I’s prom attire.
Really a pretty amazing collection! Each pair is absolutely fantastic. I can’t decide which one to buy.
I love the Steampunk Anthropologist Goggles With Magnifying Glasses for my oldest son.
Anthropologist glasses would rock with my mother of the bride dress for my daughters wedding!
Really like that. I create miniatures and toy cinemas, and use those dual magnifiers on all my glasses when operating, and love them outside when I simple task. Am always choosing up exciting seeds coffee pods and like to see them through the magnifiers. It creates finding so much more exciting to see the facts. I also like the additional little visible jewelry on the cups with the magnifiers. When the breeze sneakers up, you can bet I would use them outside in the big town, too!
Those look awesome. Do the magnifiers work for painting miniatures? If they have practical use and aren’t just a fashion accessory, they’d be off the hook!
