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.

A black Comme des Garçons jacket from 1992 that looks entirely classical from the front, then opens in a long vertical slit down the centre back to the shoulder blades.
The Piece
The early 1990s were a period of austere, intensely black collections for Rei Kawakubo, culminating in the Autumn/Winter 1992 season that collectors associate with her Lilith collection. This jacket carries an AD1992 tag and the GJ code of the main womenswear line, and it shows the quiet subversion of tailoring that defined those years.
From the front it is a sharp three-button jacket with broad peak lapels, flap pockets and covered black buttons. Turn it round and the centre-back seam stops short, leaving a deep open slit from the collar downwards, so the jacket parts as you move. The cloth is a fine, dry black weave with a slight sheen.
The fit is trim and slightly cropped: 38 cm across the shoulder, 47 cm pit to pit and 63.5 cm long. It sits best on a women's small to medium and pairs naturally with a long skirt or wide trousers.
A thin layer underneath, black or white, gives the slit its full effect, framing a vertical line of contrast down the back.

Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee. Dry clean only; keep away from direct sunlight to protect the black.
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.
