TV's Zack and Cody pack their 'Suite Life' bags for the high seas

NEW YORK - Dylan and Cole Sprouse, better known to Disney TV fans as Zack and Cody Martin, are going to feel the breeze through their famously shaggy hair.

"The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" series is moving its setting from a Boston hotel to a cruise ship. The new series has the guys and their rich female sidekick London all taking a semester at sea on her family's luxury liner, the SS Tipton.

The Sprouses, 16, have been teenage hair idols since the show premiered in 2005, spawning a trend among boys to grow their bangs and adopt a longer surfer style.

"Sometimes we notice people on the street who look like us," says Cole Sprouse in a phone interview. "Occasionally we see someone with the same hair. I don't know if they took it from us, but they've definitely got it."

Once this season of "The Suite Life on Deck" is done filming, however, the brothers are considering a new style, according to Dylan. "The 'Deck Life' clothes are better. In 'Suite Life' Cody was always in sweater vests, now the wardrobe is more mature."

Yeah, about those sweater vests: Cole says he didn't mind them at first but then the wardrobe department "went out of control."

Off the set, the Sprouses say they wear exactly what their peers wear. But maybe they hang with different crowds, considering Cole has a much more buttoned-up style than his sweatpant-wearing brother.

Cole says there are many items in his brother's closet that he wouldn't be caught dead in. "I can't even pick a specific, there are so many. Well, there's these sweats he wears that are just miserable. He wears them everywhere."

He's not above swiping Dylan's socks, though - and Dylan will take Cole's boxers if needed.

"The way I dress is casual. Usually I scour in the morning for what I can find, but I wouldn't say I don't put any consideration into it."
