1940s Willson x Last Vintage Contour Spec Goggles – Steampunk Eyewear

Steampunk and industrial style are no longer confined to the screen. Blockbusters like Mad Max: Fury Road, Mortal Engines, and Sherlock Holmes have reignited interest in rugged, utilitarian aesthetics—blending historical grit with futuristic fantasy.

The 1940s Willson Contour Spec Goggles capture this moment with precision. Originally engineered for American industrial workers during WWII, they now stand as a symbol of authenticity in an age of replicas. Transparent green acetate frames and glare-cutting glass lenses elevate their utilitarian origins into minimalist, sculptural statement pieces.

Their size and shape make them suitable for various face shapes, but they’re particularly striking on those who appreciate vintage industrial design.
