A guide for this piece: about $126, 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.

A cat on the prowl, in Italian wool
Gucci gives the campus jacket its own animal: a black panther in mid leap, outlined in red as though drawn in a single line. Set against plain navy wool and the house stripe at every edge, it is a small motif that does a great deal of work. It is the house bestiary brought, with a light hand, to the college jacket.
Best for: Gucci collectors; slim navy varsity wardrobes
Condition notes
Fine scuffs from rubbing and slight pilling, from relatively little wear. A slightly lighter area of the wool at the lower front is visible in the photographs. No conspicuous damage.
Grades, ratings and commentary are given to the best of our ability, knowledge and experience, and condition remains partly a matter of personal perception. What we stand behind without qualification is authenticity, truthful description and provenance, to the best of our knowledge. How we grade

A Gucci varsity jacket, reference 451123: navy wool, a zip front, a leaping black panther appliqué outlined in red at the chest, and knit rib striped in blue, red and cream at collar, cuffs and hem. Made in Italy; size 46.
The Piece
The front leads. The panther crosses the left chest in full stride, worked in black with a bright red contour, its head turned towards the viewer and its jaw open on a row of white teeth. It is the jacket's only motif.
The rest is disciplined: a silver-toned zip from hem to collar, two vertical welt pockets, and rib in the house stripe at every edge. The back is plain navy wool, with the striped collar and hem framing it. Inside, a grosgrain GUCCI neck label is tacked in red, and red binding edges the lining.
The panther comes from the Gucci bestiary of tigers, snakes and big cats, here applied to the most American of jackets.
