eclipsedave and Trudy, you two are on FIRE!! :cool
I re-discovered this thread while gettin' ready for Lebowski Fest, and thanks to you, eclipsedave, I can 'upgrade' my beeper to the correct model.
I have a generic bag phone I typically carry along...this Dude bein' lazy and all, I haven't tried to figure the exact one used in TBL. Has anybody else pinned it down yet?

eclipsedave, I messaged them today and got a response relatively quickly:
So it sounds like they're asking the courier for a price estimate. Excellent!
Jon, I'll take a look at the blu-ray sometime this weekend and try and get a good shot of it. Hopefully us Lebowski aficionados can figure it out, or at least find a passable equivalent.

Jon, the bag phone mystery just might be above my pay level. I'll review the flick and see what condition my bag phone is iiiiiiiiiiin.
Trudy, I just now received the same email, so this Otomix shoe purchase should work out fine. Hopefully their 38 truly is a US 6½, man.

I'm terrible at posting/editing on these forums.
Good catch. I also watched the Bluray tonight and jotted down the pager. I used that same damn pager in 1996 when I was a messenger in NYC. I am digging through boxes to see if it made the last move from east coast to midwest. I'll post a photo when I locate it (fingers crossed my hoarding served me well over the years).

1996?! Far out. Good luck with your search, man.

Pretty sure these chairs at my doctor office are the same as the ones upstairs in Maude's loft(not the art studio scene).

Just received email regarding Otomix shoes shipping balance. Added another 13 euros. All fixed now.

I never received an e-mail. Wondering if I should contact them again or not...

Trudy, I'd probably contact them.
Joberg, thanks for the furniture info. Perhaps I'll manage to land a few some day.

And contacted them. Another fifteen Euros for me, too. For the Dude, this costume's going to be pretty pricey!
Now, just need to keep my eyes out for a Pendleton Sweater. Right now, the sweaters are going for almost 2 or 3 times what they were going for earlier last year, so I just need to be patient and wait for a good deal.

Trudy, I ordered my sweater from Amazon for only around $ 99, including shipping and I truly dig the sweater:
Amazon.com: The Big Lebowski Jeffery The Dude Zip Up Costume Cardigan Sweater (Adult Large): Clothing
Don't let the horrible model throw you off. The color and pattern are a match, as far as I can tell. The sweater is really good quality.
Off topic: I'm having a Jeff Bridges movie marathon all day and into the night. Around 10 titles, but The Big Lebowski ain't one of 'em, man. Ha!

How was the sizing on that? I'd love to pick one up, but don't want to get a large and find out that is it way to large or too small..

The "Z" pattern is reversed on the front left shoulder and front left body of the sweater:
On Bridges' sweater they all face the same way. Other than that it's a decent match, especially at that price. I'd order one right now if I knew the sizing was accurate.

Thank you, Zombie. I really dig your style, man. I like getting down to the fine details.
Regarding size: I just now checked mine and it is size Large. It is pleasantly (and perfectly) saggy and stretchy to fit the way I like it and the way The Dude's seems to hang on him.
The zipper pull is on the left side, as found on women's clothing. Then I changed the zipper pull to a round one.
My torso size is large in t-shirt sizes. I hope this helps, but let me know what else I can do, like post an image of me wearing it, etc.
P.S. I get lots of compliments on the sweater every time I wear it, but they compliment the quality when they see it. They usually don't recognize it from a movie.

I'm on board that the Dude's pager is a Motorola Bravo Plus, and that the logo shown is the Pagenet Nationwide / USA map logo:
But did such a pager ever exist in real life?
I contacted some sellers on e-bay that had bravo plusses for sale. One said that they had had some requests for a pager with that logo, but they'd never seen one. Another was quite adamant:
> No they never used that logo on the plus. We are wholesalers and sold to Pagenet and still sell today to UsaMobility.
And it does seem strange that the logo in the movie is 180 degrees from the Pagenet logo that I have seen:
But it would also seem strange to think that the movie prop guys went out of their way to stick a fake label on a pager.
