A guide for this piece: about $168, 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.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A blanket that learned to tailor
The trading-post blanket and the campus jacket are two American icons, and Hender Scheme stitches them together with leather work of its own. The untreated horsehide sleeves are the quiet point: pale today, they will darken with every season, so the jacket becomes more its owner's with each wearing.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese leather craft; patterned amekaji wardrobes
Condition notes
Close to unused; weave and rib crisp. Natural horsehide shows only faint marks typical of untreated leather.

A Hender Scheme varsity jacket, reference pd-c-stj: a body woven in a stepped native pattern of turquoise, brick red, saffron, cream and chocolate, set against sleeves of pale natural horsehide, with a brown rib shawl collar and leather-covered buttons. Tagged large, close to unused.
The Piece
The front is the richer face. The pattern is placed with care: a stepped diamond centred on the chest, bands of hooked frets and stepped pyramids running across the body and through the pocket welts, which are bound in the same horsehide as the sleeves. Five horsehide buttons close the front, and a deep brown rib forms the shawl collar, cuffs and hem.
The back repeats the weave with a single central medallion between the shoulders. Inside, a smooth brown lining and an unlined natural leather patch embossed Hender Scheme with a small tab reading large. Hender Scheme is the Tokyo leather workshop known for natural, untreated hides, and the pale sleeves here are of that kind: they will deepen in tone with wear.
