Los Angeles, May 11 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Collectors will have the chance to own the cardigan used by Jeff Bridges in the movie “The Big Lebowski.” The piece will be part of the items that will be auctioned off at the Beverly Hills. The auction will take place this weekend. Bridges received massive credit for his role in the movie.
The auction will be part of the multimillion-dollar showbiz. “The Big Lebowski” was released in 1998 but it has not lost its followership. The movie is the work of Joel and Ethan Coen. With a cult following, the movie has gone down as one of the most significant movies in history. The auction house which will supervise the sale say there were four cardigans during the production of the movie. However the one which is going to be placed on sale during the auction will be the one worn by Bridges in the movie.
About the cardigan, the auction listing reports that, “Bridges wore this vintage sweater exclusively during the entire production, preferring to wear it all the time and thus delve deeper into the ‘Dudeness’ required of the role.”
Reports on the auction say the opening price of the cardigan is expected to be between $4,000 and $6,000. Without the touch of “The Big Lebowski,” the real price of the sweater will have been $188.
