The leather tool belt worn by Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) in the iconic “Gutterball” dream sequence in the Coen Brothers' cult comedy classic, The Big Lebowski (Working Title Films, 1998). Inspired by the grand fantasy sequences of Busby Berkeley, the scene is a vision seen by The Dude after being drugged. Having recently seen a certain film featuring a handyman, The Dude dreams of himself in rugged ripped white coveralls with a workman's belt, dancing and bowling with Maude Lebowski (Julianne Moore), outfitted as a Valkyrie.

The belt was made by Action Work Products of black saddle leather, with silver-tone hardware. The strap of the belt is tooled in a decorative crosshatch pattern and features three loop attachments: a metal hammer loop, and two multi-pocket pouches with metal attachments for holding tools, fasteners, and nails. Included as well is a non-functional DeWalt DW952 drill, to be stowed in the rightmost pouch. The belt has been screen-matched and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from Propstore. Length: 55.5"

Overall: 11 x 55.5 x 3.5 in; 27.94 x 140.97 x 8.89 cm
