A guide for this piece: about $50, 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.

An archive piece from MIHARAYASUHIRO, the label as it read in the 2000s: indigo denim jeans with a dropped crotch, black leather patchwork at both knees and a zipped hip pocket. Marked size M.
The Piece
These jeans belong to the early, workshop years of the house, when the denim was cut long in the rise and twisted through the leg. The seat drops low, the panels curve around the knee, and the front is built from patch pockets set into the body rather than conventional scoops.
Across both knees, irregular pieces of black leather are stitched down in overlapping blocks, as though the jeans had been mended again and again by someone with a sculptor's eye. A long brass zip runs down the right hip pocket, and the denim carries a deep, honest fade with whiskering at the thighs and frayed hems.
Inside, the green MIHARAYASUHIRO label keeps its blank Date, Size and Name lines.

Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand 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; ask anything you wish to know 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.
