The Invisible man - quick glasses q

[ob1al]

A friend of mine wants to make an invisible man costume.

NO wisecracks about just not turning up to the party.:lol

In the Universal classic, what style of glasses did Claude Reins wear over the bandages? Anyone know?

'Nuther reference, although these are different glasses..seem to be regular "John Lennon" specs in this scene:

In the earlier scenes they seem to be welding goggles.

Nice pic. So what are they? I'm not familiar with that style of glasses, it looks like a second set of lenses off to the side of first. Differently shaped too.

I would guess that's a real-world set, rather than a custom made for the film set?

for some reason i always imagined them to be glasses for blind people during the time that movie was set in. i dont know why.

There was another thread about this some time ago. I suggest you try the search function. Someone came up with a really good match, if I recall.

Those look more like glacier glasses than regular Lennon glasses. They have the leather over the bridge and look to have the "blinders" on the side.

edit: Some searching shows that style seems to be used in old welding goggles as well, so that may be a good place to look for the others.

Also, if push comes to shove, there are some tinted Chinese military goggles that could be retrofitted into a pair of glasses similar to those pictured.

I know I'm Necro-posting here and I apologise. But I just got hold of these and thought others might like to see, just to show they are out there if you look closely.....
