A guide for this piece: about $112, 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.

Ecru restraint, then full colour
One face is drawn almost entirely in a single ecru thread, a dragon and a named map of Japan read like an engraving on navy. The other face answers in full colour with the roaring tiger. The aged finish gives the whole piece the softened look of a jacket brought home decades ago.
Best for: Collectors of Tailor Toyo reversibles; map and tiger sukajan wardrobes
Condition notes

A reversible Tailor Toyo sukajan, reference TT15710, cut in acetate with a deliberately aged finish: navy with gold sleeves on one face, worked with a dragon over a map of Japan, and bottle green with cream sleeves on the other, where a roaring tiger head fills the back. Tagged XL.
The Piece
The navy face is the more intricate. Beneath the script word Japan, a dragon coils through cloud and cherry blossom beside Mount Fuji and an embroidered map of the islands, its cities named in fine thread: Sapporo, Aomori, Tokyo, Yokosuka, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe and Hiroshima among them. Two smaller dragons in cloud sit on the chest, all in a single ecru tone against the deep blue, and each gold sleeve carries a navy stripe.
Turn it and the register changes to colour. The green back shows a tiger head in yellow, black and red, mouth open, under the same Japan script; two snarling tiger heads mark the chest, and arrow-stitched pocket welts and herringbone piping along the cream sleeves complete the face. Striped rib in navy, cream and red closes the collar, cuffs and hem.
The label carries the Tailor Toyo mark of Mount Fuji, cherry blossom and torii gate with the words Hand Embroidery. Tailor Toyo is the maker most closely tied to the original Yokosuka souvenir jacket.
