These goggles are the Fibre Metal VG800-H5. They are an old style welding goggle. We stock them. order on our web site. [Link removed on request]

Shipping will be 3-5 days

The white gloves are for TIG welding - do NOT use those for chemicals of any kind, or even hot liquids as the liquid will penetrate the leather *very* quickly. The black gloves Dr Horrible wears at the end are acid gloves, but may not be compatible with the gloves needed for general lab work. Check with your lead lab technician for compatibility.

Same thing for the goggles, as mentioned. You need splash goggles that are meant for the chemicals you will be using.

The lab coat is likely to be made from some organic, like cotton. Again, not a good thing for most chemistry applications as acids will eat through it quickly. Nitric acid will sensitize the cotton, and could result in a contact-sensitive explosive. Probably not something you'd like to be known for. Though you might get a bang out of it.

Don't compromise on your safety equipment… it's just not worth it.

I ordered the goggles from Pendergast, but due to their misrepresentation of their product, I sent them a polite e-mail asking if these were indeed the goggles in the picture on their site, and this is what they sent back:

“Please spread the word. We are not in the costume business. We are a industrial supply company with thousands of items. We did not want these small orders and were shipping them because many of you have called and begged for them. Manufacturers are constantly upgrading and changing frame colors. This would not matter to a welder. These are not sunglasses they are for welding and you can hardly see through them.
I will cancel your order.
Again please spread the word that we are not interested in selling these as a costume.”

Consider the word spread: Asshats.

Based on the fact that one of their employees posted on this forum asking people to buy from their site, I'm following up with the business to see what can be done.

I would ask that people please refrain from sending the company nasty messages and hopefully we'll be able to sort something out to keep everybody happy.

I have been informed that Pendergast Safety has issued full refunds to those that purchased the items AND said they can keep the item they have.

I think eveyone has to agree that while things got messy (on both ends) that Pendergast Safety has done the right thing and I hope that people will respond appropriately.

I made a set of goggles, and now actually have the right goggles for my corrected pair of Doctor Horrible goggles.

I also have the gloves. The labcoat, is pretty easy to fabricate, and I know where to get the boots.

Easy costume.

Where did you get your goggles from?  I think a lot of us are looking for 6 vent goggles now.

For everyone working on painting their goggles to match real prop, what colors and types of paint are you using?

Does anyone know if these are correct?  I sent them an email asking but their reply was so short and impersonel I have a feeling they didn't really check.

I noticed that NPH wears at least two different pairs of goggles. During the Wonderflonium heist and in the archive footage of him getting beat up by Captain Hammer, it appears that he wears goggles with stationary lenses like those xDiablis seems to have found on Amazon. But in all the other scenes he wears a pair with flip-up lenses—which seems to be what most people are getting.

Anyway, I got mine here. They only have four vents, but they have the flip-up lenses—and, of course, they're green instead of silver as shown in the picture.
