A guide for this piece: about $1,079, 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 1940s 501XX example identified as the 1946 model, with individual wear retained in the indigo denim.

The Piece

These jeans are offered for their period character and measured proportions. The approximate W30 designation should not replace a comparison with a well-fitting pair laid flat. The measured inseam is 72 cm, and no claim is made about an untouched hem, full originality or undocumented repairs. Review all nine photographs to assess the fabric, construction and visible ageing before choosing to wear or archive them.
