Believe it or not The Dude's bathrobe is actually Jeff Bridge's real life casual wear, he brought it in for the movie because the directors wanted him to bring in something that he would wear on his leisure time so that it would look more natural on him.

If I were you I would check vintage thrift stores and look for something like that there. Definitely in the 1960's section.


Hope this helps you out dude. We abide.
To be dude is both a philosophy and a way of life.

Do you want his actual robe?

Or just one like it?

You probably won't be able to find something exactly like it - because god only knows where Jeff Bridges got his clothing.

However, just a standard beige robe from any department store should do the trick.

I got my bathrobe in the mail last night. I love it. Wore it all evening. I really felt super relaxed just by putting it on. This is the one I got if you're still looking. They have a few more selections. They even have a green one in there that looks like Maude's. https://www.thirstytowels.com/turkish-textiles/49/product/Waffle%20Bathrobe

everyones robe is a little different right? i mean, someone stole mine for me from a four seasons hotel, and its all ratty and nasty and i like to go to the market wearing it, it helps me knowing; a. that is was stolen and b. those four seasons motherfuckers charge like $225 for these robes and people in my community actually buy them. i dunno, its my robe. is that wrong of me, enjoying the stoen robe and wearing it when i drop my ( poor weird) 8 year old off while wearing it and my old mens slippers?

What a picture.

Why have children if you're not going to psychologically scar them. after all it's the only way your going to get any payback on the mess your parents made of you (objective not subjective there).

they where either as cool as fuck, or the most nasty anal retentive nihilist out here, depending on whether he emulated them or (much like I did as a kid) just went the other way to annoy them.

actually I had lunch with my Dad a week or so back got onto the subject of interviews and he made some comment about people not hiring people that looked like taliban, bless him (he is ex-RAF so a bit skewed in his opinons about how people should look).

I found some rare footage of The Dudes father. This explains a lot.

Hey man this unchecked aggression will not stand...I'm ex RAF and don't give a flying fuck how people look or sound or live ...that's their business man not mine....who the fuck am I to judge!

I evolved dude your dad clearly didn't.

Peace to you and your broad statement.  ;)

So I was thinking that if every uptight undude in the world; you know, undudes like Gaddafi, Hitler, Kim Jong Il, Stalin, Bin Laden, Timothy McVeigh and the asshole next store who took a shot at your dog for humping his dog would all just mellow out a little and wear a robe when out shopping for half n' half the world would be a better place.

Am I wrong? OK then.

Please my Dad once saw an officer wearing his shirt without a tie and with his sleeves rolled up and Dad nearly had an eppy about him being improperly dressed.

My brother and I went to extremes both growing our hair and me growing a beard as a teenager. He used to walk on the other side of the road from us when we where out.

He has got better with age but still has some funny views on some things.

Well done for evolving Caesar theres quite a few ex-forces people I know who didn't.
