Dov Charney :I'm very proud of the underwear"

As creative director of the company, he appointed himself fit model, the person who tests the look and size of his men's line. He has even appeared in the ads. "I weigh 155 pounds, I'm five-10. Am I not fit? Is there any job that is not appropriate for me to do?" he said.
"I'm very proud of the underwear," he added.
In an interview, he also defended appearing in front of Nelson with just his genitals covered. "The demonstration of the" garment, Charney said, "was a product we were considering -- and I was in fit condition for it." He ultimately decided against putting it in the American Apparel line. "It wasn't classy," he said.
