I did not. And moneyed Lebowski fans might also be aware that the original, worn by Jeff Bridges throughout the filming of the modern classic, is set to go on auction this weekend in Beverly Hills, according to the O. It's expected to fetch a pretty penny, with an opening bid in the $4-6k range, so the $188 price tag on Pendleton's reissue of a nearly identical version (dubbed, of course, the "Dude Cardigan"), due in stores by September, seems rather attainable, doesn't it?

You know you want one.
