The Dude’s Sweater to Be Auctioned Off

Written by Pat's Papers | Tuesday, 10 May 2011 11:11 AM

Dude! It’s not exactly sweater-wearing weather but if you’re a “Big Lebowski” fan, listen up. The Oregonian says the Dude’s sweater will be auctioned off later this month, along with “three modern copies.” Jeff Bridges reportedly wore the Pendleton sweater all the time while filming, allowing him to “delve deeper into the ‘Dudeness’ required of the role.” If you don’t have time to book a trip to Beverly Hills, don’t worry—the Oregon mill responsible for the sweater is bringing back a tribute version this September that will sell for $188.

Clothes on Film has a good analysis of the Dude’s sweater choice And Wikipedia has an extensive history of the Cowichan sweater
