Definition
洋装 has two main meanings: the more common one is 'Western-style clothes' (especially a suit), and the specialized one refers to 'Western-style bookbinding' (as opposed to traditional Chinese thread binding). Which sense is intended depends on context — clothing in daily conversation, bookbinding in publishing or antique book discussions.
