A guide for this piece: about $44, 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 zip-front bomber jacket from Kenzo in a wool blend, its slate-blue yoke, grey-olive body and burgundy sleeves bordered in navy rib, and across the back an embroidered pair of tigers leaping above clouds. Size L, in near-new condition.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long drawn its energy from the meeting of Tokyo sensibility and Parisian ease. The tiger became its most recognisable emblem in the early 2010s, and here it is worked in the manner of an Eastern scroll painting: two cats caught mid-leap in gold, amber and white thread, with soft pale clouds beneath them and nothing else to disturb the field.
The embroidery is dense and finely graded, so that fur, stripes and claws are all legible from a distance. The jacket itself is a study in quiet colour blocking. A bluish herringbone yoke runs across the shoulders, a darker grey-green wool forms the body, and the sleeves are a deep wine red, all joined with a curved seam and finished at collar, cuffs and hem in navy knit. Two slanted pockets and a central zip keep the front spare, which is exactly why the back speaks so clearly. The lining is navy with a subtle dashed pattern, and the green Kenzo Paris label is sewn at the chest.
Measurements as recorded: bust 116 cm (45.7 in), shoulder 49 cm (19.3 in), length 66 cm (26.0 in). Every measurement is taken by hand, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in).
