A guide for this piece: about $98, 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 visvim Artifact Coverall from Spring/Summer 2013, an unlined shawl-collar work jacket in khaki cowhide suede, cut by Hiroki Nakamura from a vintage chore pattern.
The Piece
Hiroki Nakamura's visvim is built on the study of old garments, and the Artifact Coverall is a perfect expression of that method: a French and American chore jacket pattern, simplified and remade in materials most makers would never risk on a work garment. In Spring/Summer 2013 it was offered in this suede version, now rarely seen.
It is cut from a soft cowhide suede in a muted khaki, with a broad shawl collar, a five-button front, two large patch pockets and a single welt pocket at the chest. The jacket is unlined, so the suede drapes and moves like heavy cloth. The product code is 0113105014025.
Size 1 measures 37 cm across the shoulders and 47 cm pit to pit, with a 61 cm sleeve and 68 cm length, a neat fit for a slim build.
Suede of this kind ages beautifully, darkening at the edges and softening with wear, and the jacket has already started that journey.

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. Brush the suede with a soft brass or crepe brush and have it cleaned only by a leather specialist.
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 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.
