A guide for this piece: about $46, 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.

Black wool trousers from Number (N)ine's early archive, attributed to the Autumn/Winter 2000 Ladyson season, scattered with tiny pinholes in the label's famous shotgun-blast treatment.
The Piece
Takahiro Miyashita's first years at Number (N)ine produced some of its most radical ideas, and the shotgun-blast finish is one of them: clean tailoring deliberately peppered with tiny holes, as if caught by buckshot. These trousers are attributed to Autumn/Winter 2000, the season Japanese collectors know as Ladyson.
The cut is a slim, straight-leg trouser in black wool, with slanted front pockets, a jetted back pocket, a hook and button tab closure and a zip fly. The front is scattered with small pinholes across both legs, subtle from a distance and striking up close.
The waistband lining is printed NUMBER (N)INE, and the labels give size 2, 100% wool lined in polyester, made in Japan, with the Kooks Co., Ltd. care label.
Size 2 measures 39 cm flat across the waist with a 69 cm inseam, roughly a 30 to 31 inch waist with a cropped length.

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. Dry clean only to protect the wool and the treated pinhole areas.
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.
