Elaine Takes Over The Peterman Catalog | The Foundation | Seinfeld

[@wittyroark]

The cigar puffing "its a peach" was amazing

[@jjryan1352]

Probably from some old film set in a newspaper office.

[@fuzzfacelogic789]

Myanmar... "What's that the discount pharmacy?"😂

[@hasselett]

It's funny, the first time I watched this, I hadn't heard of Myanmar (although I did know about Burma), and I thought it sounded like a cheap pharmacy. Then Kramer says the exact same thing moments later. 😅

[@kandoo1316]

The way Elaine say "O.k" like a naive little girl at 2:35 and Kramer shuts the door in her face without even looking back gets me every time. :}

[@williamhicks7736]

🤣🤣🤣

[@lonelyheroine]

And when Elaine is on a bus, the two guys sitting next to her were talking about how the urban sombrero cost them their marriages. 😂

[@djolley61]

I love how Kramer's pants are just short enough to be comical, especially combined with white socks.

[@genxx2724]

Kramer is Fonzi.

[@Janexcalibur]

The actor said that Kramer's clothes always look like they didn't fit him because they wanted it to look like he's had these clothes forever & never threw anything out; in fact, if anyone threw anything out, he wanted it (e.g. Seinfeld's suede jacket that got ruined in the snow).

[@rumblefish3034]

@@Janexcalibur all of the main Seinfeld cast's clothes were purchased and tailored specifically for them except Michael Richards. He insisted that his character's clothes should be pulled from random sections of NBC's wardrobe department. Richards also has a pair of shoes from every character he has played in films and television. Very "method."

[@waryaawariiri1812]

@@rumblefish3034 Kramer's clothes, especially in the kater seasons, were random at all. All his polo-like shirts were these silky printed ones. Ditto with those short pants of his.

[@JanetStarChild]

@@Janexcalibur That sounds about right. Kramer's fashion style looks to be predominantly from the '70s and '80s.

Every episode makes me and my brother laugh, this stuff is gold.

[@christo7072]

Its gold jerry, GOLD!

[@BenjiPOTF]

I am amazed how Kramer always managers to slide in the room.

[@lonelyheroine]

They must have something slippery on the floor to get that effect. Like really little ball bearings.

[@rumblefish3034]

Kramer: "You follow your katra, and you can do anything." *leads Elaine out the door and into the hall* "Now, get outta here." Elaine: *turns around and giddily smiles* "Okay." Kramer: *slams door in Elaine's face* 🤣

How awesome would somebody be if he wore all of those things at the same time? What about Swiss Mountian Climbing Gloves?

Don't forget Eddie Sherman's description for the quilted chambray nightshirts!

Urban Sombrero.....no way it can go wrong...especially on the new york subways.

[@lucone2937]

I could buy an urban sombrero for hot summer days.

[@chrisb9360]

I modelled in the Peterman Catalog back in '96. Summer Edition, page 22, Moleskin Trousers.

[@ModMokkaMatti]

Ah, are those the type of pants that when you outgrow them, you can cut them up into equally sized panels, bind them together, and turn them into a sketch book?

[@hed2410]

I thought it was all drawings.

[@vaadaenmacchi]

.. the discount pharmacy???” Lol

[@FOXZILLA5734]

It's a bad sign when Kramer gave her advice from one of the odd number star trek films lol

[@kyon813]

Next thing he'll say to give God a starship, or bury a legendary Starfleet admiral under a pile of rocks on some barren backwater planet.

[@lonelyheroine]

Well, the Wrath of Khan was the best of those movies.

[@cityhawk]

The way Elaine ran the J. Peterman catalog is the same way that I’d see George running the catalog, with complete and total ineptitude.

[@sunnyv5718]

Ineptitude. Cheers!
