Huge fan of your work here! Definitely inspires me to do more with photography. I’m hosting a photography retreat in the South of France. If anyone is interested check out my site: http://www.provencephotography.com
This is simply wonderful. I have a website called Veritas Inc and I was wondering if I could feature this article on it. Either there or on my Edward Cunliffe blog: https://edwardcunliffe.wordpress.com/ let me know!
I wish I could find a cozy, good looking, sturdy sweater like this one. This man seems comfy and warm with different layers of clothes and cowboy boots, (I think.)
But, what made me smile was the happy dog who seems to have a matching moustache with his master !
The reflections in the puddle of water add a nice touch to this photo.
Beth is right.
As a huge Big Lebowski fan, I abide with her statement (I did name my blog after a famous quote from the movie, although it was technically “*beep* Dude, let’s go bowling”.
I’ve always wanted to purchase this sweater but I feel it wouldn’t go well with my complexion, so instead, this year I’ll get meself a dark lopapeysa.
Here are some links where you can actually buy your own “Dude” sweater:
(this one features buttons instead of a zipper, “if you’re not into the whole brevity thing” harharhar!)
You can also do some research on ebay by looking for “Cowichan sweater” or “Pendleton Dude Sweater”, since Pendleton created the original one in the 70s.
Found some similar knits in Canada. Apparently these are all hand knit each by hand with knitting needles the traditional way. http://www.grantedclothing.com
FYI, That is a copy of The Dude’s sweater in The Big Lebowski. There is a free copy of the pattern (by Andrea Rangel) available at the knitting site Ravelry (membership required). http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-dude
I once had that sweater. Found it at a thrift store for two dollars and I accidentally threw it in the wash one day. Have been regretting it ever since. Such a great sweater for a comfy rugged look.
aside from the rental bikes in the background that picture could have been taken in the 70′s. More than a little like Jon Voight walking down the street in Midnight Cowboy.
This is my favorite picture of yours, Scott. I can see a whole story behind it. It reminds me of old New York, Sylvester Stallone from Rocky. James Caan from The Gambler. What does this man do in life? His style is timeless, very classis, careless. It’s very manly.
Love the cowichan inspired sweater. A Canadian staple and also totally practical in any cold climate. I am pretty sure this one is identical to the one worn in The Big Lebowski!
Great shot! Funny how the dog seems to be totally aware it’s being shot and the owner seems totally into his walk.
I am fortunate enough to own two of these sweaters, including one that resembles the one in the picture. It is a Pendleton sweater with a zipper closure that was made in the 70′s and for a short time thereafter, I think. I have a black one with red and gray trim, but a later version.
Can’t beat their warmth for their moderate heft–one can brave 20 degree F weather with a thermal shirt and a scarf. Bought mine on Ebay. You won’t find them for less than $100-150 during this season.
Such an authentic NYC shot! I’ve actually walked past this guy a couple of times in the SoHo/Nolita area, and you’ve done an excellent job of capturing his aura. If it hasn’t happened already, I’m sure someone who knows him will eventually identify him or at least notify him that he’s been featured here.

Hi there Sevan,
Beth is right.
As a huge Big Lebowski fan, I abide with her statement (I did name my blog after a famous quote from the movie, although it was technically “*beep* Dude, let’s go bowling”.
I’ve always wanted to purchase this sweater but I feel it wouldn’t go well with my complexion, so instead, this year I’ll get meself a dark lopapeysa.
Here are some links where you can actually buy your own “Dude” sweater:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/92844831/made-to-order-the-dudes-sweater-is
(as the link mentions it, it’s made to order, so send in your measurements! However the price has gone up since last year…)

You can also buy it brand new from Pendleton directly, as they have just re-released the sweater (though, in a different color) on their catalogue page: http://www.pendleton-usa.com/product/Men/SWEATERS/SWEATERS/WESTERLEY-CARDIGAN/171059/sc/1727/c/1727/pc/1814.uts?selectedColorCode=2060

love the way he’s upturned the collar of ‘the dude’ sweater. jeans and boots fit perfectly.
Not sure if he’s walking the “calculated dress to look effortless” or the “really doesn’t give a fuck” path, but either way it works for him.
