Is the water warm enough?

Just from those two pictures, it doesn't look like Prince's has the armbands.

or quite possibly, he only has one at the elbow.

Key difference: Prince in Purple Rain shirtless = omfg hot. Seinfeld shirtless = check, plz.

Always thought this episode would've been funnier if the shirt had been less puffy, tbh. Only slightly puffy.

So, legendary costume designer Ruth Carter (who won Oscars for the Black Panther movies) did the costumes for the pilot of Seinfeld, and she has been going around saying that George's glasses were previously worn by Denzel Washington for a scene in Malcolm X, which she also costumed.

But this is obviously not true, because the Seinfeld pilot aired in 1989 and Malcolm X didn't even start filming until 1991!! Stop the lies, Ruth!
