A guide for this piece: about $67, 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 souvenir jacket made by Pherrow's for its thirtieth anniversary, model 21W-TAKUMI30TH, in black cotton velveteen with ivory ribbing. Marked size L and close to unused.
The Piece
Across the back a white dragon coils above breaking waves and a small red Mount Fuji, under the word "Japan" in chain-stitched script. A crane and a tiger with bamboo sit on the chest, and a dragon runs the length of each sleeve.
The body is lined in a tonal jacquard of clouds and beasts rather than the usual quilted satin. Labels give cotton for the shell and body lining, polyester for the sleeve lining and wool for the ribs.
Our curators confirm the state described here against the piece itself before it leaves Japan, and will write to you first should anything differ.

Authenticity & Care
An authentic piece; the maker's labels appear in the photographs. Our curators check every detail in Japan before dispatch. Follow the care label, which advises gentle dry cleaning, and store away from sunlight.
Delivery from Japan
The garment is packed by hand in Japan, folded flat in tissue. Shipping is quoted and agreed with you before purchase, weighing EMS, then FedEx, then air cargo, all insured and tracked. Duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Lay a shirt or jacket you already love beside them and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size guide to tops and jackets turns pit-to-pit figures into US, UK, EU and Japanese sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
Considered offers are welcome through Send an Offer, and each one is reviewed personally. See more from the sukajan room, or browse what has just arrived.
