Like pairs of socks, gloves have a habit of breaking up and heading off in separate directions. I had such a glove, a soft fleece one that was too good to toss. So I found a new job for it: protecting my safety goggles. Now instead of a single, useless glove, I’ve got a useful sheath that will keep my goggles from becoming scratched in the toolbox.

Orphan socks make equally good protectors for safety glasses.
I agree with bobbomax - I've been using orphaned socks with the tops cut down for sunglasses and safety glasses storage for years.
