I've had my shop glasses for a bunch of years .. bought at this tool place that had some stuff there collecting dust since probably before the 60's. They reminded me of the ones we used to have to wear in shop class in middle school. Everyone bitched about how dorky they felt in them ..specially the girls in the class. But they were required and you'd get yelled at for even walking into the shop without them. It was like a class full of Buddy Hollies or in our case - Kevins. Because this one kid in our class named Kevin had regular glasses that looked exactly like this, minus the sides, you didn't have to wear the school issued versions if you already wore glasses.. so conseqently Kevin didn't look any different in the class. It was like when someone goes through chemo and his hair falls out and all his friends shave their heads in support so he doesn't feel out of place. We were all in support of Kevin ..sort of .. Kevin was kind of an asshole. I've ridden my bike at night sort of supporting Kevin.. but the sides screw up your peripheral vision so cars are able to creep up beside you without even seeing them.. not good when you go to change lanes.
