About this item

  • Iconic sweater style - This cardigan is identified as Pendleton's most popular style, significantly brought into the limelight by "The Dude" in the 1998 movie "The Big Lebowski".
  • Premium wool fabric - Made from 100% wool for superior warmth, softness, and durability. Wool is naturally resilient, retaining its shape and quality over time.
  • Heavy cable knit men’s sweater - Meticulously made to provide lasting quality and style, that will become a timeless staple in your wardrobe for years to come.
  • Effortless comfort and style - This knit cardigan offers a comfortable fit ideal for layering. The classic pattern and relaxed fit provide timeless style and comfort.
  • A treasured gift for every occasion - Ideal for holidays, birthdays, or as a kind gesture, these cardigan sweaters for men are high on the wishlist of so many men.


Originally debuting in 1972, this men’s sweater style gained renewed popularity when "The Dude" wore an original in The Big Lebowski. Fans demanded its return, and now it’s back, meticulously recreated in every detail. This sweater for men is now available in a range of colors —tan/brown, navy/brown, and black/grey—to suit your style and preferences. Crafted from 100% wool, this premium men’s cardigan delivers unmatched warmth, softness, and durability. The wool's natural resilience ensures it retains its shape and quality over time, making it a smart choice for those valuing both style and sustainability. Virgin wool’s renewable nature also helps minimize environmental impact. The heavy cable knit design is visually striking, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship. The close knit, intricate, classic pattern provides both warmth and texture that remains a timeless staple with enduring quality for any wardrobe. Its comfortable and relaxed fit are ideal for layering, and the full-zip closure with a sleek metal ring loop adds a touch of sophistication and ease. This cardigan sweater is a smart investment in quality and a great gift choice. With exceptional craftsmanship and classic design, it ensures years of dependable wear while retaining its style and appeal. It’s an ideal present that combines lasting value with sophisticated elegance for any occasion.

It’s made very well. Very soft. It’s a Pendleton. What else should one expect?

Really great sweater. Despite other reviews to the contrary, this sweater is oversized. I returned a medium for a small which fits fine, albeit still roomy. If you require a tailored athletic fit, definitely go down a size. Also details were not clear that the item is made in China. But a high quality product.

Okay, so I did buy this as a gift for my brother because we both love the big Lebowski. He doesn’t have a lot of “quality” sweaters, so I was not sure how he’d react. But he LOVED it. It’s super warm, well made AF, absolutely the same sweater the Dude wore, very thick, and super cute. The zipper worked as well, not that you’d see that in the movie! And it is true to size.

I recently purchased the Pendleton Men’s The Original Westerley Zip Up Cardigan Sweater, and it’s been nothing short of a revelation in my wardrobe. Yes, the price tag is on the higher end, but let me tell you, it’s worth every cent. This sweater has become my go-to for its unparalleled warmth and comfort. It’s like being wrapped in a cozy blanket, perfect for those chilly days.The sweater’s ability to break the wind is impressive, making it an ideal companion for outdoor activities or just a casual day out. Its quality is evident in every stitch, ensuring durability and long-term use. I find myself reaching for it almost every day, barring the summer months, of course. It’s a testament to its versatility and how well it fits into my daily life.Out of all the purchases I’ve made this year, this sweater tops the list. It’s not just a piece of clothing; it’s a reliable, comforting presence in my everyday routine. For anyone sitting on the fence about this, I highly recommend taking the plunge. It’s an investment that pays off with every wear.

It's the true Pendleton Westerly sweater like the Dude's , despite the mislabeling, and the best deal on the web. Many thanks to the reviewer who confirmed it wasn't a frontier shirt. Still a lot of cash but it is very very nice. Large fits my 6'2", 180 pound frame perfectly. Abide!

Well... Been wanting this for a long time. The Mrs. wouldn't get it for me for multiple years of Bdays/Christmas, so When It dropped near a $100 in price (Mid Nov 2020), I got myself a gift! As stated in multiple reviews:- I ordered down a size. Normally a XL for outerwear/sweaters, got a large and it fits perfect, not too big or small.- I was worried about it being wool, but if the dude can abide in it, I can too! I think it helps regulate my temp well, hard to explain, but I run hot all the time. This seems to take the chill out of the air, but keeps you warm when you go outside / and or releases enough body heat from me that I do not get overheated. And its very, very comfortable... makes it easy to abide.- Made in China... well if you are worried it isn't a real Pendleton, I assure you, it is real. If you go on Pendleton's website and the Q&A/FAQs section. It states they are made in China. Unfortunate, but true. The sweater would probably be well over $400 if it was made in the USA. And the 3rd party seller 1 star review... No S man! you are on Amazon. its going to be sold by Amazon or a amazon partner. Apparently, you're not a golfer. Overall, I am so pleased with this sweater, I think I might have to get the grey version to tie the look in even more. So cool, my 15 y/o son wants one. Told him he can have it when I'm gone (it'll be in the will.. lol!). If you have any desire to get this, do it! just follow the size recalculation unless you want it to be oversized. Zero regrets with purchase. Thanks, Donny.. (for reading).
