A jingle was composed for the campaign with the text "She's in a skirt, he's in a skirt, they're in a skirt, we're in a skirt!", and the ad contained the phrases "Women have worn such clothes for decades — now it's your turn" and "Every man can be a man twice with a new line of Tite-Waist Pants".

However, the clothing line was not released to the market: a friend of the designer's family told him that investors would "break his fucking legs" if he invested in skirts for men.
