Jerry Shows Off His New Jacket | The Jacket | Seinfeld

[@airport862]

George is a one man show. The monologue he delivered about the price of the jacket was classroom worthy.

[@Siyko]

HA-HO!

[@LocalCoot]

Disagree. I don't think raised voices and anger constitute comedy, which was when ''Seinfeld'' got the biggest laughs. Says a lot about the audience who live vicariously through the steam. Every one of the characters lost their temper for laughs. Go for cool and calm humour, says I.

[@hymns4ever197]

He could have taken a cab, and met them at the restaurant. A $10 cab ride could have saved him hundreds of dollars. Of course Kramer did not have the decency to give him back his old jacket. All for the sake of comedy!

I don't. He should have been more assertive. The two of them were like frightened squirrels in front of that old grump.

[@clhound]

That jacket lining is quite breathtaking.

[@Bosc715]

George’s silence on the lining is mystifying

[@oahuhawaii2141]

[@nomaamguyplusseinfeldandco2870]

In case everyone wants to know, according to the magazine "The Ultimate Guide to Seinfeld and Costanza" published by Entertainment Weekly on June of 2020, Jerry shells out $1,000.00 for the suede jacket.

[@osskican]

it must be min. salary in that time..

[@jeffw8218]

That’s still a lot for a jacket like that even today. Probably run you over $2,000.

[@JanetStarChild]

No piece of clothing is worth $1000, just short of a wedding dress.

[@huntercopeland9371]

Using an inflation calculator, that $1,000 jacket would cost about $2,008 in 2021. That’s a damn nice jacket.

[@henriklarsson5221]

Is it only me or did George´s character develop a bit during the seasons ? I feel he was more secure and "cool", even tough he was angry, in the beginning... and then slowly evolved into the angry, insecure and weird George that we all love ? Not only George, but Kramers character also, turned more "wacky" and extreme compared to the start, when he was more toned down ? Elaine and Seinfeld seems to have stayed the same tough :=) I need to rewatch it!

[@mattm7798]

Well, I'd say the characters in season 1-3 were more realistic and less over the top, especially Kramer. IMO, the show really became amazing once they turned up their personalities to 11. It sounds weird but the more unreasonable they became, the funnier it was.

[@TheStuport]

"He's In The Bathroom" That line is Still A Gut Buster! And Kramer talking about what damages Suede....just like VOMIT. Susan would agree! To this day I still walk around every so often and start singing "Master Of The House."

$1000 in 1991 when this came out is equivalent to $2200 right now (probably more like $2500-3000). In ultra high end stores you can spend that, but it is indeed a crazy amount to spend on a jacket. IMO anything more than $400-700 is really crazy to spend. I don't even spend half that, but spending that much is crazy. They were starting with their guesses at around $800-1000 in today's money.

Elaine’s dad in this episode looks like a 1950’s villain who belongs on Dragnet. Sorry Jerry, the lining kills the jacket for me. If it was a solid grey or black lining I would agree with you Seinfeld.

Lawrence Teirney (the actor playing Elaine’s dad) was never on Dragnet, but he played a lot of tough guys, detectives and heavies in the 40’s and 50’s. He also scared the heck out of the Seinfeld cast because he was a lunatic.

Something feels off in this episode ... not sure if it's the recorded audio .. or the acting ... maybe because it was one of the earliest episodes.

[@dncviorel]

I actually consider the first 4 seasons to be the best, because the production was not that big, characters were more laid-back, and it was more focused on the dialogue. From season 5, when it was clear that Seinfeld is a hit, the budget increased, the characters became more expansive, more action in more places with more cameras and more actors was added, and to my personal taste it became a bit too cinematic, or too dramatic, if you wish. Still very good, but different.
