The Big Lebowski Costume Thread

[Drowningworms]

Really good job. Shoes actually look like they were made that way. Costume should be a hit. Show some complete pictures. Abide!!

Very nice job!

 

[MattgomeryBurns]

Thanks! I only managed to get one boomerang on Sat night, go figure.

Also, before I started putting this costume together I knew I was going to need to custom-dye some fabric. I discovered that you can create some pretty good custom colors on RIT's website. So, based on this image of the screen-worn outfit:

I put together the following color palette:

And Here are the results:

Plaid Shorts (Old Navy)

RIB Brand Cotton Robe (eBay)

Champion Sport V-Neck (Target)

Hi, do you know where i can get the robe ?? no luck on ebay though...
cheers

Just thought I'd share a photo I found whilst perusing through some BTS photos of ROTJ.

Who knew The Dude worked on Return of the Jedi.

Seems The Dude might be returning for the Super Bowl.

I have a skype interview today. I call this Dude Casual

I picked up the off the shelf ***** costume for Halloween, but I wasn't happy with the affordable bowling shoes out there, so I picked up this $30 pair on Amazon and tried my hand at leather paint for the first time. And I was able to order a custom ***** necklace on Amazon too.

What brand of shoes did you get from Amazon? I'm finally going to be planning out the Dream Sequence outfit for The Dude to wear one of the days at SDCC for my freshman visit to the con in July. Something like that would be a perfect blank canvas for creating the two-toned sparkle shoes.

(it's against RPF policy, if i recall, to link them here, so please just post the name that I can search for)

Heya Dudes.

I completely spaced on posting some of the photos from a shoot I did last summer. We tried to recreate a few shots, including the DVD cover photo. Unfortunately, that shot was the last shot of the day and my hair was going flat (I had it all puffed out from sea salt hair product and light hair spray). We went to a local retro-styled bowling alley and shot for a couple of hours before the place started to fill up, including a few shots from behind the bar.

One last thing to catch up on...

For people looking for jelly sandals, the Lebowskifest website is currently selling them for $24 / pair. I picked up some to replace the ones I ordered off of eBay a few years ago. They're a perfect fit and I need to buy another pair to keep as backup (or even wear during the summer for the hell of it).

 

[backstagejack1]

AAAAAAND now I bought them. Thanks! Been looking for some for some time and the site I was going to get them from is now not selling them. These will probably be perfect and now all I need are the shades!

 

[backstagejack1]

Went to a Super Bowl party and grabbed some Stella on the way. No one knew about the commercial so when it came on I received several shocked looks and alot of kudos for planning out the gear. (sadly, my jelly sandals are in the mail and haven't arrived yet.)

They're called: Pyramid Mens RAM White Bowling Shoes

 

[backstagejack1]

So The Dude's bowling shoes (not the dream sequence pair) are listed as "Eagle II" I'm assuming Dexter brand. Ironic that they're Eagle as he hates the ******* Eagles.

Anyone else have a clue if this is accurate or if this website was just selling whatever?

2076: Jeff Bridges "The Big Lebowski" Shoes on LiveAuctioneers

So far, I've found a few close enough options mostly old rental shoes from closed bowling alleys which might be a bit gross to own but I'll take the hit, haha.

[backstagejack1]

They look durn close. I always find it tricky ordering women size shoes for a man though.

I just ordered mine from lebowskifest.com though so far it's been almost a week with no shipping..... anyone else dealt with them?

Dude's Jellies

I can not wait.

 

[backstagejack1]

So I'm getting a bit worried. I purchased the jellies from www.lebowskifest.com and received the obligatory PayPal emails. This was Feb 1.

so far, I've received no emails etc from Lebowskifest.com and none of their emails are working. I keep getting returned emails. Their facebook and twitter pages are currently active.

Has anyone else dealt with them?
