Robe From 'The Big Lebowski' is Up for Auction

[forumdude]

I think it might be a fake - there was already a big to do about the last round of lebowski clothes auctions. i think the last robe went for several thousand dollars. i could be wrong. but the dude never wore socks and i find it very hard to believe that they keep underpants from actors and resell them. the dude never wore these. and he may have never worn the robe either. they might have been backups or they might be fakes. Caveat Dudetor!

I have the robe, which I bought on ebay for like $70. it's not that great. itchy polyester. i'd like to copy them here in thailand but it's a weird ribbed material that would be hard to duplicate. maybe i should make them out of condoms? ha ha.

And yes, Meekon is right. Objects of veneration often replace the spirit of veneration. But I highly doubt that people will ever mix up the medium and the message with Dudeism. It's sort of got built in protection in that our fictitious iconography is so provably fictitious. Unlike other religions.

Thanks for that...good to know.
But can you make the robes out of hemp? A better choice than polyester I think...and more appropriate.

  If it's fake, I say to the asshat selling it, you're in a world of pain...

MARK IT ZERO!!!

Give it a thousand years, or two thousand, and see what happens.

My favourite (false) medieval religious relic is "the skull of John the Baptist , as a boy". I would love to meet the guys that managed to sell that one.

Unfortunately without identifying markings (say for instance a sample of Jeff Bridges DNA on some stain) we may just be open to buying any old tat that some wide boy wants to pass off as "The Original Robe".

As I said before it's not the robe that's important it's living the life.

We do have to ask would the Dude be worrying about buying the Dudes original Robe?

You didn't think I was rolling out naked, did ya?

"No, man... eleven hundred bucks? It was like, eighteen, I think, on sale at Target, man. Eleven hundred? Really? Eleven hundred? That's like... How many ya want? Do they all have to be this color or is mix and match cool with you?"

I was under the impression that the robe was from Mr Bridges own private takin' er easy clothing collection? don't think he's that strapped for cash?

[Judd Dude]

I dig my robe, man. It's not the original from the film- it's MY original.

[Boston Rockbury]

Well, at least someone's who is a Dudeist priest should own it. Keep it in the ranks! I don't think it would do us any harm...

i won't be bidding dude - it's polyester - I only ever wear natural fabrics.
I like to have brushed silk next to my testicles, which is of course the only reason I borrow my wife's undies.

[banjodude]

I ain't never seen no queen in her damn undies as the fella says.

and you never will dude - i borrowed them all while she was in the shower

I thought most movie props came with a certificate of authenticity? I was watching one of those discovery channel program's where they sell off abandoned lockers and in one a pair of olive doil shoes were found from the popey film with robin williams. They had a certificate.
