2nd is a Japanese men’s fashion and lifestyle magazine launched in 2007 in Tokyo. Known for its focus on timeless craftsmanship and “American traditional” style, the magazine explores enduring wardrobe staples such as denim, leather shoes, watches and vintage-inspired fashion. Rather than following fast-moving trends, 2nd is celebrated for its curated perspective on quality, everyday style and well-made living.

The latest issue of 2nd magazine, Just a Shirt and Jeans, explores the enduring combination of shirts and denim – a cornerstone of classic menswear that continues to evolve through subtle shifts in silhouette, colour and styling. From shirt craftsmanship and global tailoring details to denim selections and everyday outfit inspiration, the feature offers a fresh perspective on timeless spring dressing.
