Waiting for my first pair right now, as it happens. Had readers for many
years, distance two years ago, but I reckon it was time to admit defeat....

Try here

I used to use them only for fly tying, they have now migrated into my sewing
area.

You and me both, as it happens. I got my pair from B&Q about 3 or 4 years
ago, a heap of them lying at one of the checkouts and it was an impulse
buy. When I tried again it was a case of 'Oh they were a one-off special'.
The sort I have are the close-fitting ones. I've tried googling for
suppliers in the UK, and managed to locate a couple, but when it came to
ordering, they could only offer the sort that stand away from the lens on a
short arm.
I got a pair coz Audrey said she wanted some as well, but they're not as
good as the close-fitting sort.

My cheap "oil-o-pump" hand-pumped aerosol bottle. It was an abject
failure in the kitchen, but does a fine job of spraying a fine mist of
water.
