A guide for this piece: about $481, 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 reversible souvenir jacket by Tailor Toyo, made for Kosho & Co. of Yokohama: a black velvet side worked with tigers, and a green satin side carrying an eagle. Size XL.
The Piece
Tailor Toyo is the house most closely associated with the Japanese souvenir jacket, the form that grew from the embroidered keepsakes of post-war Yokosuka and Yokohama. This example is reversible, so that one garment holds two entirely different characters: the black velvet side is dark, dense and quietly dramatic, while the green satin side is bright and lustrous.
On the velvet side, a tiger is embroidered across the back, with a pair of tigers facing each other at the front. Turned inside out, the green satin side shows an eagle across the back and two dragons at the front. The embroidery is dense and dimensional, and the two faces make the jacket two pieces in one.
The woven label reads Kosho & Co., with the characters 港商 and the place names Tokyo and Yokohama, in size 特大 (extra large). No measurements were supplied with this piece; please ask us before you buy and we will measure it by hand for you.
