A guide for this piece: about $54, 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.

Brown corduroy bush trousers from Witch's Cell, set with long panels of hand-distressed knit from thigh to shin.
The Piece
Autumn/Winter 2002, Witch's Cell, was dark, folkloric and deliberately decayed, with knit and cloth treated as if they had been worn for decades. Its trousers combine workwear patterns with eroded surfaces, and they are now firmly on archive collectors' lists.
These carry the Undercoverism label. The base is a mid-wale corduroy in faded tobacco brown, cut as a bush trouser with flapped patch pockets front and back and a snap and zip fly. Over each knee runs a long panel of dark knit, laddered, holed and darned by design so that the cloth looks moth-eaten. The corduroy itself has been washed down to pale ridges at the edges.
Tagged size M with a straight, slightly flared leg. They work with a heavy knit or a worn military jacket.

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. Gentle cold hand wash; dry flat to protect the knit panels.
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.
