The Dude Abides. And so does his sweater for a cool $4,000-$6,000 at a Hollywood memorabilia auction set to take place this weekend, May 14 and May 15 at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills. If all you have is a pile of dirty undies (the whites) instead of a pile of cash just chill the F*@k out, man. There are a lot of ins and outs and the ol’ Duderino has it covered, man. Well,  Pendleton Woolen Mills does at least. They will be releasing a remake “Dude Cardigan” for $188 this September.

You can’t technically wear it, but it’ll make you look damn good. The late, great Steve McQueen’s ‘71 Husqvarna is up on the auction block and is set to sell for anywhere between $50,000 -$70,000.

While it may not be the one he rode in On Any Sunday, the thought of your butt sitting where McQueen’s once was (if you are anything like me) is well worth the cool $50k. Check out more about the bike and the auction here.

After two years in the making, Pladra has finally launched their website. Specialized in producing durable, functional and stylish flannel shirts for passionate outdoorsmen. The designers claim they had “never found a flannel that [they] could wear both in the field and to the bar after getting blood on it This is the foundation and inspiration behind Pladra: making a high quality, field-ready flannel with a unique sense of style.”

The designs are clean and classic, but have several whimsical details that make the tees stand out from traditional flannel. Not only do they match up plaid lines and use custom buttons, they also use outdoor scene liners on the cuffs, collar and back yoke. Some styles also feature faux-suede elbow patches for all you vegans out there (outdoorsmen vegans who get blood on their shirts, now I’m confused). And best of all, all shirts are made in the U.S. of A. You can find Pladra shirts online for now, I’m sure they’ll be sold a store near you soon. More photos are after the jump.

They are dyed, waxed & edged by hand in California with each wallet sporting an individual edition number (there are only 100 of these wallets in existence!).  More photos are after the jump.
