I've seen a lot of videos with The Dudely Llama going about in the brown bathrobe, but I wonder about the clothing aspect of our noble enterprise. Are there any particular clothes that you don when you're bowling, or when you're just chilling out when you take a moment to see what condition your condition is in?
I think perhaps that the clothes of The Dude, while comfortable and iconic as the character himself, are often overplayed, and worn less in honor of the dude-way, but as an attention-grabbing "Look at me, I'm dressed like Jeff Bridges was in 'The Big Lebowski'!", without consideration to what they can genuinely represent. I think that the comfort in one's clothes can represent one's comfort with the world, and the ability to abide all that is, and all that becomes. To rephrase, "The bathrobe is not the issue here!"
Do we have an ideal set of clothing? Or is comfort the main goal? Do you wear anything in particular to bowl, or to conduct Priestly duties?
VAGINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just what feels good dude....and doesn't fall down whilst bowling! ;D
I'm usually found in a t-shirt and a pair of Levi jeans, dude enough for me. If I'm out, add a pair of comfortable swede boots. Don't need much more.
Pretty much whatever feels good man. Most days after work I roll around on shorts and t shirt and flip flops in summer time when out. When home swap the flip flops for some slippers. About as dude as it can get if you're into the slacker chic sorta thing.
Just underwear. (I work from home.) When I go get the paper, I'll put my hair into a pony tail, but that's about it.

. That's awesome! I wish I could work from home. I would be set!
Ya, well, it has its drawbacks. For instance, I get to practice my social skills on you. ;)
Haha. Fair enough. That's not all bad though. Just means less chance of running into paraquats.
Ya, haven't had any rug-pissers come my way for a long time! Mind you, a beach party with topless girls on trampolines would get me out of the house...

I could be ok with topless girls on a trampoline... I think my wife might allow that. ;D
When I am not bowling leagues, this is what I wear to bowl.

Man, a real robe, like something out of old movies or Star Wars, would be pretty svelt. But I don't want anything fancy, so it's hard to find.
Basically, a bath robe that isn't a bath robe.
You know, if we could get a good deal on bowling shirts with embroidered "Ordained Dudeist Priest" on them, that would be like far out. Like far out past Pluto.
No fooling, dudes, I'd wear it.

As far as lounge wear I like a nice pair of sweats or pajama pants.
Everyday wear includes any kind of tshirt, sweatshirt, jacket, etc. and a pair of jeans. I live in the Pacific Northwest so i don't really wear shorts too often.
Shoes are usually slippers, slip on canvas shoes, whatever fits the occasion.
I see baseball jerseys but no bowling shirts. :) (Unless I skimmed too fast, which is likely.)

Baseball jerseys work very well as bowling shirts. 8)

I totally agree. That's why I only ever wear full bondage leathers when I'm bowling.

I personally like to wear vagina as often as possible....not in public of course! :)
Peace.

How did that advert go?
VAGINA the perfume for pussies by Kelvin Klein
Who is Kelvin?
Or do you mean Calvin?
I was thinking more of a garment than a perfume....although that works too! ;)
Sorry to dig up a decade-old post but you're goddamn right I'm living in the past.
I'm usually in sweats or pajama pants and a t-shirt, maybe a hoodie if it's cold or shorts and sandals if it's hot (wanna get jellies but mine are comfy too). I have a red and black flannel bathrobe I wear when I'm doing actual Dudeist stuff like Tai chi or dudeitation. I'd wear it to officiate a wedding if I ever did one. Unless mandated by an employer or special occasion I'm pretty much all about that comfy couture, even before becoming a Dudeist
