Haven’t seen Star of Hollywood here in years.  Is this brand defunct?

As a Toyo brand, it's alive and well, and Toyo releases several models each year - see here: https://store.toyo-enterprise.co.jp/starofhollywood/

If you meant the original 1950's brand, no, I don't think it still exists.

Would love to see Style Eyes in this thread.  I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea here such as the bowling shirts but it would be nice to see it!

I have a black bowling shirt from Style Eyes and really like it. I'm on the hunt for more colors. Here's a pic from a few weeks ago. Paired with moto jeans and moonstar sneakers.

Pretty sure they're still producing. Selfedge has a few selections and shows a bunch as 'new'.

A few years back they had a quartered black & green design which was beautiful. I only saw it once....

^ I have that same liberty print Yoshi Jones shirt.. used to get a lot of stuff from that shop in Newtown 20 years ago (mostly for mrs mondo) – now shirts show up occasionally in op-shops and I'll always grab them. If they don't fit me, I've got friends in a variety of sizes..

more sufu vets should adopt not so little little fella's gen z pant fit, so much more comfortable!

The width on those pants doesn't look much different to me, but the one on the left looks good at the hem, and the one on the right looks sloppy. A proper hem length and cuff cleans up the shape of the lower leg and makes it look much more put-together, and this picture is a great example of that. It also illustrates how flattering classical proportions look, where MJF9's fit creates a strong classical silhouette, and not-so-little fella's fit creates the visual impression of a long torso and short legs. But I'm not going to give him a hard time, he's young and I probably looked far sillier at that age ;)

haha yes you're spot on with the comfort factor @oomslokop.  There's a nice simplicity to it all.  The rare shopping trip with the not-so-little little fella is also simple.... we go to the brick and mortar skate clothes shop - where the other lads in there dress in even baggier garms - he tries them on, picks what he likes with minimal faffing and just wears them.  Then he pinches my trainers to wear.  He's not a skater - spends most of his non-school days in football or athletics kit - but he likes the threads... and it's one of few shops in the city you can find decent stuff to try on.  I think his Butter jeans even have a drawstring to pull 'em in they're that big - comfort ftw!!

My little one is 6'4" now – he also favours Butter Goods pants, which I think first came to my attention when @Double 0 Soul bought some a while back. They're an Australian company (albeit made in China), which makes a change from some of the other stuff out there. He liked the Madlib line they had. I found some one-wash selvedge work pants on special that he's fond of – maybe he'll find the upsized FW 51s I planted in his wardrobe and give them a go when he wants something a little sharper...

What we need to consider with zoomer pants, hems and such... what you or i think looks good (and i'm sure we're right)   isn't what gen z thinks looks good, there is also a good chance that, evn with age, that might nvr change.. with every generation there is always a hark back to previous fashions with a pushback against what came immediately before..(a lot of shit i hated as a teenager, i still hate today)  If you take a bit of time to read any gen z fashion boards around the interwebz.. as the zoomers hark back to the 2000s millennial fashions have become a laughing stock. and not just cartoonish wabash.. any kind of heritage wear, even just plain old selvedge jeans, leather jackets and fancy leather boots are described as "millennial trash"..
 
I was laughing at a thread a few weeks ago "How do I turn up at a job site without looking like a retarded hillbilly?" .. the thread then went on to describe all the things you should never wear.. which was basically a rundown of all sufu's key looks from the last decade... :blush: :D
 
In 30yrs time, who knows where fashion will take them.. but there is a good chance that a chainstiched hem with a cuff will always be frowned upon. :D
 
btw.. great jumper @Well27 😍

So funny.

FWIW - my zoomer in laws, who used to give me guff for jeans and be in sweats/athleisurewear 100% of the time - well the older one went off to university. Comes back wearing jeans, baggy, stoned washed denim, but denim nonetheless. I ribbed him a bit and he said he guessed he had to grow up a little (I didn’t have the heart to tell him there’s a whole world of suits who think the denims are childish) and that he preferred them now outside of his training (he’s on athletic scholarship). And his younger sib has followed suit. These zoomers look how I did - roughly speaking at least - when I was about their age, though they do real sports while I was on the skateboard and playing in bands.

I’m slightly too old I guess to have taken a full bath in the heritage trends. I like many of the individual items - nice jeans, nice shoes/boots, even a Pendleton button down or two - but the flannel, slim selvedge, red wing thing never hit for me, even at it’s peak. 

That said, the above young dude looks perfectly suited for his age IMO. Different personalities but if there’s not a bit of sloppiness in the daily dress for most occasions it’s not really for me, esp as a youth when you can afford to do that more. People get less choice as they grow up depending on profession etc. Need a little bit of dishevelment, because life isn’t perfect or put together and nor should we be. It lowers the blood pressure to accept it.
