This iconic men's sweater debuted in 1972, but when The Dude wore an original in the film "The Big Lebowski," fans clamored for a comeback. Now it's back by popular demand, down to every last color and detail. This shawl-collar cardigan blends rugged heritage with unmistakable style. Crafted from premium, midweight wool, the Westerley delivers warmth without bulk. Its distinctive pattern, zip-front closure, and ribbed cuffs and hem create a structured yet relaxed fit that works anywhere—from crisp mornings outdoors to evenings in town. Substantial yet comfortable, bold yet timeless—the Westerley is the sweater you reach for when you want warmth with character. It’s not just a cardigan, it’s a statement piece that never goes out of style.
- 100% Lambswool
- Imported from China
- Dry clean

You may know it as The Dude's cardigan or the Big Lebowski sweater, but we debuted the Westerley cardigan in 1974 as part of our High Grade Westernwear line.
The vintage Westerley was one cozy sweater. We offered it in the western, outdoor and casual lines for over ten years. Over its run of production, the zip front, ring zipper pull and shawl collar stayed the same, as did the Greek key-inspired pattern. Archival visits show that the Westerley’s color variations are surprisingly wide.
The sweater went out of production in the 1980s, but found the limelight in the early 2000s, thanks to an obscure movie that didn’t stay obscure.

This Coen brothers film was released to low to middling success, but quietly grew into a cult favorite. No one can pinpoint the exact reason why. Was it Donny’s clueless questions? Walter’s chin-strap beard? The German nihilists? The dream sequence scored by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition?
Well, it was probably a grand confluence of all of these important factors, plus the masterful turn taken by Jeff Bridges as The Dude. He staggers in and out of trouble, wearing alternately sweats, shorts, pajama pants, a bathrobe, a purple t-shirt and a battered Westerley cardigan.

The phenomenon that is “The Big Lebowski" continues. There are books devoted to the lore of Lebowski. All over the country, Lebowskifests draw crowds of Achievers, troupes of dancing bowling pins, and character look-alikes. You can buy stuffed animals, action figures and, of course, sweaters new or sweaters old.
The Dude abides. And so does his sweater.
