Nothing wrong with that; the Dude's sweater is a Cardigan.
As for the shorts, I've come to the conclusion that the odds are astronomical that I'd find a pair with that exact pattern in my size (after all, the movie is now 16 years old and it's highly unlikely they're still being made), so I've settled for "close enough" or "Dude-esque" as many Lebowski costumers have. Sometimes you just have to mark it zero.
ahh crap, you're right, Zombie. i think of the more common button-up sweaters when i think of cardigans. heh and good point on the shorts... i'm usually not too picky on being authentic for costumes, especially if i can be frugal and sell the idea to the masses rather than get nitpicked by the smaller group of perfectionists.
so on the good side, the replica bowling shirt arrived this week (good quality for $36), the pants from Deborah @ Colores del Pueblo have been ordered, sweater arrives in a couple days... just need to track down some cheap jelly sandals and i'm set for ECCC 2015 to use multiple costume changes over the course of the weekend. In the meantime, I'll probably hang out my fav bar on halloween and order white russians all night long, wearing the sweater / pants combo.
