A guide for this piece: about $124, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

A creed stitched between the shoulders
Most stadium jackets carry a team; this one carries a credo. The lotus, the old proverb arched above it and the lines of invocation beneath turn the back into something closer to a devotional panel than a sports crest. It is Japanese streetwear in a contemplative register, made on a properly built wool and cowhide body.
Best for: Japanese streetwear collectors; quiet graphic varsity wardrobes

The GDC LOTUS Stadium Jumper, reference GD0558: black wool body, cowhide sleeves, and a back embroidered with a grey lotus inside a fine circle, a proverb arched above it and lines of invocation below. Tagged M.
The Piece
The back leads. A many-petalled lotus is worked in tonal grey thread and set inside a thin embroidered ring. Above it runs the proverb A rolling stone gathers no moss; beneath it, under the heading The Great Invocation of GDC, several centred lines of serif text, From the point of Light within the Mind of GDC among them.
The front is kept quiet: a small gdc script stitched at the chest, black snaps from collar to hem, two slanted welt pockets piped in leather, and a slim leather tab on the left sleeve. The sleeves are cowhide, the rib at collar, cuffs and hem a dense knit, and the lining black quilted polyester.
GDC is a Japanese label; its own neck tag reads Established 1998, Development of Ideas and Products. The maker issued this design as the LOTUS Stadium Jumper 1th limited.
