If you want to truly commit to a life of slacking, you may want to invest in the sweater worn by Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski. It’s being auctioned on May 14-15 in Beverly Hills, though the opening big is definitely out of the Dude’s budget: $4,000 to $6,000. The more economical alternative is a $188 tribute design manufactured by the same company that originally made the sweaters. According to the auction notes, Bridges preferred the worn-in look:

“There were four sweaters made for the production — this vintage sweater and three modern copies, according to costume designer Mary Zophres. Bridges wore this vintage sweater exclusively during the entire production, preferring to wear it all the time and thus delve deeper into the ‘Dudeness’ required of the role.”
