The May issue features a textbook-like feature that 2nd excels at, "Dictionary of Traditional Clothing Terms." This feature is a fun way to learn about clothing-related terms that you may think you know but don't fully understand. As the basic knowledge of traditional clothing that is at the core of our culture, we start with "Traditional Clothing is Full of Trivia," which teaches about the details and designs of classic items such as blazers and shirts, to accessories such as glasses and watches. We also delve into "Fabric Encyclopedia," which follows the process from fibers to fabric, and "chemical fibers" such as nylon and polyester, which have not received much attention until now, and "functional materials" such as Gore-Tex, Polartec, and Primaloft. After learning the basic knowledge, we ask two familiar 2nd members about "maintenance" and "storage" to enjoy clothes for a long time, "My Rules for Using Clothes for a Long Time," and "Welcome to the World of Dresses," where we learn about fitting and rules for dress styles. This May issue of 2nd thoroughly investigates things you are curious about when it comes to clothing. Reading this book is sure to make choosing clothes even more fun than before. This is a permanent edition. Please take a look..

With casual clothes, there is an air of "it's enough if the atmosphere when you come is good enough," but with traditional clothes, the most important thing is to wear them correctly with the right knowledge. Even if you dress casually, if you don't understand the basics before you dress casually, it will just look "disheveled." That's what's interesting about traditional clothes, but also what's difficult about them. The May issue of Second is packed with the basics of the main traditional clothes, such as jackets, shirts, pants, and ties. Learn all the basics in this feature, from "real cuffs" and "creases," the "correct way to tie a tie," and the "types of leather" and "manufacturing methods" used for leather shoes.
