2nd Magazine x Felco Ageing Collection Crew

Inside the pages of their iconic publication, 2nd Magazine offer style insight for the discerning dresser. Founded in 2007, the Japanese magazine is published monthly and where ones fluency in reading Japanese may fail, the potency of its imagery is universal. They portray pieces with character from international brands that embody a respect for enduring quality over temporary trends. 

One such brand is Felco, a heritage American sportswear brand founded in the 1920s in New York City. Throughout the 1970s, Felco were lauded outfitters for quintessential American sports like Baseball, Football and Basketball supplying all elements of kit including jerseys, shirts, coach jackets and the likes for the NBA and MLB. The brand was recently revived by a group of Japanese Americana heritage enthusiasts who are reestablishing its reputation for making hardwearing and stylish athletic daily wear.

A strong match on ethos, 2nd Magazine and Felco recently collaborated on a range of sweatshirts which 2nd Academic are proud to be the exclusive suppliers of in the UK. The sweatshirt chosen as the canvas is the Ageing collection 16oz Inverse Weave V Gusset Classic Crew in Navy. Alluded to in its name, the Ageing collection develops its character with wear, bringing the philosophy behind fading a pair of jeans till they become unique, to a sweatshirt.
