A guide for this piece: about $39, 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 PPFM archive piece from the label's Y2K heyday: bondage denim in a heavy, sand-and-smoke vintage wash, banded at the knees with woven jacquard tape and laced at the sides.
The Piece
Two bands of black and white jacquard ribbon circle each knee, the upper and lower bands framing a panel that can be tied in with the leather laces at the outseam. Slanted zips cut across the front pockets, a metal D-ring hangs at the waist, and the whole surface carries the deep whiskering and abrasion that defined Japanese gimmick denim at the turn of the century.
PPFM, Peyton Place For Men, dressed a generation of Tokyo's onii-kei and visual-kei followers, and its intricate denim is now collected as archive design. This pair is one of the more elaborate of its kind.

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.
Considered offers are welcome through Send an Offer, and each one is reviewed personally. More of the label waits in PPFM and the wider denim and trousers room.
