It showed him coming into a launderette to wash his 501 jeans, wearing only while Sunspel shorts. As he strips down he is watched by a group of women in the launderette. The commercial had immediate impact with Levi's sales increasing by 800% and making it the number one jeans manufacturer. It also made Kamen a household name and a sex symbol.
