A guide for this piece: about $385, 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 from WACKO MARIA’s 56 Tattoo Studio series, pairing an embroidered Oni skull in silver thread on black velvet with a second, blue satin face in the manner of the classic Yokosuka tradition. Size XL, made in Japan, a discontinued design.
The Piece
WACKO MARIA is the Tokyo house that treats rock-and-roll, nightlife and Japanese tattoo imagery as one continuous mood, and its sukajan are among the most sought after in the city. This one comes from the 56 Tattoo Studio line, where the embroidery is drawn from tattoo flash and stitched with the density of a painted panel.
Worn velvet-side out, the jacket is a study in restraint: a pale, silver-grey horned skull with a fanged, spiked jaw floats on a deep black pile, trimmed with cream rib at the collar, cuffs and hem. Turn it and the mood shifts to a lustrous royal-blue satin with cream raglan sleeves, the same skull rendered in grey and gold thread on the back, a second smaller skull on each side of the chest, and the word Japan scripted in black outlined with red. Navy, cream and gold striped rib frames the hem, and twisted gold cord traces the seam beneath each arm.
The jacket is padded with polyester wadding and finished with wool rib. Measured flat: shoulder 63 cm (24.8 in), body width 72 cm (28.3 in), length 77 cm (30.3 in) and sleeve 64.5 cm (25.4 in). Every measurement is taken by hand with the piece laid flat, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in).
