Ive got this pair of old goggles i tried refurbishing a few years ago, as you can see im not exactly a master at leather work.
Id like to completely redo it but i still dont exactly know what im doing.
The band is fine but i dont know how to properly do the bridge and id like to add fur to the rims, and theirs not that many resources about this.
Any advice?

Adding fur is easy- loctite makes some adhesives specifically to bond fabrics to other materials. I've glued some leather and tested it- the leather ripped apart before the glue failed.
I have to head to work but I'll think about the nose joint and see if I can come up with something more aesthetically pleasing.

And gluing the fur to a rubber channel that you can pop onto the frame might be better than gluing straight to the brass...

I plan on using rabbit fur since its fairly inexpensive, should i cut out a ring or just a strip of fur?

I think a ring would look better, be sure to follow the grain- so the hair is laying in the same/opposite direction. Like hair pointing to the outside, so pointing left on one eyepiece pointing right on the other.
Cut out the center hole much smaller so you can fold/wrap it around the lip of the goggles.

Use a hot glue gun, it will hold it on tight but wont be hard to clean up if you change your mind
