Well, Ed, There are a few different ways you can go about putting together a decent Dude wardrobe. Here are a couple approaches (all prices are quoted in US$):

    •   Bathrobe – A dark camel hair color, or dark beige (it’s been described as brown… we’d say, “light brown”) … terry cloth.. the Dude's had a vertical stripe woven or cut into it (it was also custom made for the production). This isn't a bad one!

    •   Shorts - Olive drab green/Dark blue plaid (not cargo shorts) that go down to the top of the knee.

    •   Sandals - Leather slip-ons. Click here to see a great pic.

    •   T-shirt - White, V-neck that has been washed with every dark load of clothing for a month…or two!

    •   Sunglasses - Vuarnet Legend 03, which retail at $260, though there are plenty of knockoffs out there.

    •   Note - This outfit, consisting of just the robe and the shorts, sold for $21,250 at auction. We’re betting you can get it for much less!

    •   Sweater – Pendleton Westerly – retails at $240, but with some judicious shopping you can find a decent price on eBay or a department store sale.

    •   Pants – We did some digging for you... The most exact copy runs $64 and comes from Colores del Pueblo. This is the closest match we can find. They sell for $64. On the other hand, these are $30, though they aren’t exact…

    •   T-Shirt – V-neck shirt died purple or mustard.

    •   Sneakers – Otomix Original Martial Arts shoes. Sometimes these martial arts shoes pop up on eBay for around $65.
