SEINFELD (T.V. SERIES, 1993) - Jerry Seinfeld's (Jerry Seinfeld) Puffy Shirt - Jerry Seinfeld's (Jerry Seinfeld) puffy shirt from Seinfeld. In the Season 5 episode "The Puffy Shirt," Seinfeld inadvertently agreed to wear low-talker Leslie's (Wendel Meldrum) ridiculous-looking puffy shirt for his appearance on The Today Show. Three puffy shirts were rented from Palace Costume Company for the production of the now-famous episode, with one eventually being donated by Jerry Seinfeld himself to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.

This long-sleeve, button-up shirt is made of cream-color silk and features a ruffled collar, puffy billowing sleeves, pearl-like buttons, an H20 New Generation manufacturer's tag, and a Palace Costumes Co. barcoded wardrobe tag. It exhibits a few pulls in the fabric from use and age, resulting in very small holes.

Additional Provenance: Letter of Authenticity from Melody Barnett, CEO of Palace Costume Company.

Estimate: $20,000 - 40,000
