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.

Black wool trousers from Hermès with a straight, wide leg, half-lined in silk and made in France, attributed to the years when Martin Margiela designed the house's women's collections.
The Piece
Between 1997 and 2003 Martin Margiela was artistic director of women's ready-to-wear at Hermès. He made a wardrobe of quietly perfect basics: wide trousers, double-faced coats, oversized knits, all in the finest materials and built to be worn for decades. Those trousers in particular have become a collector's staple, valued for their cut and fabric rather than any visible logo.
These are in black wool with a touch of stretch, with a high waist, a clean flat front and a long, wide leg that falls straight from the hip. They are lined in silk, the waistband carries a small leather detail, and the labels read Made in France and Hermès Paris. We attribute them to the Margiela period from their label style and cut, but no season is marked.
Tagged size 40, they measure about 64 cm around the waist, 33 cm in the rise, 30 cm across the thigh, 22 cm at the hem and 64 cm in the inseam, which gives a full length on a petite frame and an ankle-skimming length on a taller one.
Worn with a fine knit and flat shoes, they are as modern now as when they were made.

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. Dry clean only and hang by the hem to keep the line of the leg.
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.
