Best Walter Sobchak Costume Guide
Everyone knows that the ‘90s crime comedy film The Big Lebowski owes a lot of its success to John Goodman’s phenomenal performance as the unstable Vietnam veteran Walter Sobchak. Now you can dress up as the beloved best friend of the Dude at your next costume party. With the right gear, everyone will instantly recognize you as Sobchak, and your costume is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
What you’ll need to get this costume right: A Weekender traveler air vest, a Port Authority silk pique knit sports shirt, belted pleat front cargo shorts, Casio sports analog dive watch, a Rhode Island cap gun, Bruno MARC classic combat boots, and a pair of Champion black crew socks. Add a pair of VW Eyewear aviator sunglasses with orange lenses, and you’re ready to get your bowl on.

If you love bowling, Vietnam, religion, or Pomeranians, then Walter Sobchak might very well be the perfect costume for your next cosplay convention. Dress up as the beloved best friend of Jeffrey “the Dude” Lebowski, and your costume is guaranteed to be a huge hit. It won’t cost you a million-dollar ransom to pull off this cosplay outfit. All you need is a sports polo, a vest, some cargo shorts, orange-lens aviators, and a pair of combat boots. And of course a capped gun. Sobchak is always pulling that thing out.
You can go solo with this costume or cosplay with a group.

About Walter Sobchak
A Vietnam War veteran, Walter Sobchak owns his own security firm and loves bowling. Walter is still madly in love with his ex-wife, Cynthia, and he often does nice favors for her, despite the fact that she has already moved on with someone else. Walter and Jeffrey Lebowski are best friends, and they bowl on the same team together. Walter struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder from his time in Vietnam, and he often lashes out at people and displays oddly aggressive behavior.
When Walter first got married to his ex-wife Cynthia, he converted from Catholicism to Judaism. Walter continues to practice Judaism, even though Cynthia and him are divorced. Religion is the only thing that Walter puts above bowling, and he refuses to bowl on religious holidays. Even when the evidence said otherwise, Walter refused to believe that Bunny Lebowski had been kidnapped.
