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.

Unworn. The jacket was a store display piece, so the wool shows a little surface fuzzing and light creasing.

A varsity jacket made by Kith with Russell Athletic, in navy wool with cream leather sleeves, a chenille K on the chest and the seal of Queens College worked large across the back. Size S, unworn, with its hang tag still attached.
The Piece
Kith, the New York label led by Ronnie Fieg, made this jacket with Russell Athletic, the American sportswear maker long associated with team clothing. The back carries the arched word KISSENA above a script Boulevard, then a scalloped seal of Queens College of the City of New York with a globe at its centre, and the year 1937 beneath. It is the most ornate side of the jacket.
The front is quieter but no less detailed: a cream chenille K with an athlete patch on the chest, the numerals 19 and 37 below, and Kith & Kin in fine script. Small figures of players, a globe patch and a second college seal are set into the cream leather sleeves, and a woven Kith label marks the striped rib at the hem.
The body is cut from a dense wool blend and closes with gold-toned snaps. Inside, a quilted lining and a leather Kith label give the jacket its structure.
Measured flat: chest width 52 cm (20.5 in), shoulder width 47 cm (18.5 in), length 65 cm (25.6 in), sleeve length 65 cm (25.6 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).
