As cool as some '90s style trends were—snapback hats, Starter jackets, Air Jordans—others we'd rather forget. And at the top of that list is stonewashed jeans, the baby blue denim that rapidly replaced the raw denim that had dominated store shelves since the early 20th century. Though it was more comfortable, the actual wash used made the denim look about as real as a Twinkie. And no one was a bigger proponent of stonewashed jeans than Jerry Seinfeld, who practically became synonymous with them by the time Seinfeld wrapped in 1998.

Though almost all of us have moved back towards raw denim and more sensible, natural washes, apparently, even in 2016 Jerry still needs his fix of stonewash. In fact, he proved as much on Sunday, when he posted a photo to Instagram showing the lengths he went to get back into a pair after realizing he forgot his go-tos at his last hotel. (Which, to be fair, is a packing nightmare for any traveler.)

As he explained, he stopped by Macy's for his favorite jeans, but after being deprived of them for so long, couldn't wait to get them back to his room to wear them. Instead, he threw his leg up on the register and had them take the security tag off right then and there.

Might we suggest Jerry, that if you love these awful jeans so much (by the way, here are some great stores around the country for much better jeans), then at least keep a back-up? But most of all, what's the deal with wearing them with flip-flops?
