I think you can make just about anything your spiritual rug or what-have-you. If it has meaning to you and ties your metaphysical together, then well er... lost my train of thought there.  For a musician it might be that one beat up guitar that despite looking like you picked it from the dumpster behind Sams, has better tone than any of the others you've played. Or maybe a picture of Bill Murray that your daughter gave you for fathers day one year that let you know she gets you.  Then of course it can be things like the Pendleton sweater too. But for me, even though those things are great and definitely hold meaning for me, it's the things that I can fit into my head that keep me centered rather than the stuff that fits in the room.

I think we all find our own holy swag.
Some would include a bong.
I'd include my bike.
Strangely I'd include firearms.
Nothing blows off steam like popping off some rounds at the range.
It's very relaxing. Meditative almost.
It just serves to show that even the most seemingly "UnDude" things can be very Dude.

I'd say that on the subject of regalia, it would follow the theme of whatever matters to you.
The conscience seems to be that Dudes can practice how they so choose as long as their not pissing on someone else's rug. Obviously item directly related to the movie make sense. (Like the bathrobe, a rug, a cocktail glass, etc) But it doesn't seem to me that the member of this community dig strict rules. Am I wrong in that observation?

So if it's shooting targets that chills you out, that's far out. If it's partaking in some mind-limbering substances every once and a while, neat. If it's getting a tattoo of something Lebowski/Dudeism related that brings you to your center when you look at it, that's cool too.

The key is that there is no one correct way to practice and one set of "sacred" items. There are things that immediately make sense to like minded folks such as ourselves but we are a community of individuals. And different things hold different meaning to different Dudes.

I'm not completely sure where this is building to. I seem to be rambling and have lost a hold on what I'm blathering about.

I guess I'd say just do your thing, Dudes.

That's all just in the Dude's humble opinion

Nicely worn-in clothes. It takes a good three, four years for a cotton t-shirt to get suitably comfy. Now, after about ten years that sucker is just about perfect for lounging about. The cotton fibers get velvety soft, the collar doesn't feel like a midget is trying to strangle me, and it's probably shrunk enough to give the ladies a tantalizing glimpse of flabby white mid-riff when I stretch back before throwing one down the lane.

Manual typewriters are a quirky hobby of mine, so the Royal I use almost daily would be up there with a bowling ball or rug. It would definitely harsh my mellow if someone stole it or peed on it.
Hot tea is my white Russian.
I am a military veteran so I have some Walter in me. I like to keep my shooting skills sharp and maintain some fitness as well.
