A guide for this piece: about $37, 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.

The Monkey CISCO cut in Kapital's Century Denim, a brown sashiko-dot weave of cotton and linen made at the Mitsu factory in Okayama, softly faded with wear.
The Piece
Century Denim is Kapital's homage to the slow, irregular cloth of a century ago, and its sashiko-dot weave has become the line's signature: small light floats scattered over a darker ground, like rows of hand stitching. In brown it reads as a rich, earthy texture rather than a typical jean.
This is the Monkey CISCO, Kapital's slim straight five-pocket, here in style KAP-305A, a blend of cotton with linen that gives the cloth a dry hand and a subtle sheen. Inside the waistband the Mitsu factory Okayama label confirms its Kojima-area production.
Details include a button fly with black shanks, a small square cloth tag on the back pocket, and contrast pocketing in ecru cotton. The colour has softened evenly over the legs, bringing out the dot pattern.
Tagged 34 but measuring about 31 inches at the waist, it will suit a 31 to 32 wearer, with a straight leg and a slightly cropped inseam.

Authenticity & Care
The labels, materials, stitching, hardware and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch; anything that cannot be confirmed is stated plainly in the description. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee. Wash cold, inside out, with a mild detergent, and line dry in the shade.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Japan and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand with the pair laid flat, in centimetres. Measure jeans or trousers that already fit you the same way and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our jeans and trousers size guide reads waist and inseam in inches and centimetres, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
