A guide for this piece: about $446, 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.

The band plays on
Letterman jackets were awarded for sport; this one is awarded for music. The back is a whole ensemble, numbered and named like a concert programme, while the front keeps the campus grammar of crest, script and college letters. It is a varsity jacket that tells a story rather than a score.
Best for: Collectors of Louis Vuitton graphic outerwear; music-minded varsity wardrobes

A Louis Vuitton varsity blouson in black wool and black lambskin, its back given over to a band of musicians drawn in pale leather appliqué, its front set with crest, script and letter patches beneath the words Class Of 2022. Tagged 50.
The Piece
The back panel reads like a concert programme. A crowd of players is outlined in grey and cream leather, a drummer, a pianist, horn players and singers among them, each figure numbered, with a printed key beneath naming every role from drummer and clarinettist to double bassist and trumpeter. A small Louis Vuitton script patch sits above them at the yoke.
At the front, the black lambskin panels carry a heraldic crest worked with the words Malletier and Louis Vuitton, a script patch reading Class Of 2022, a cartoon-lettered emblem and the initials L and V cut as college letters. Grey leather bands cross both wool sleeves, cream piping traces the raglan seams, and cream striped rib closes the collar, cuffs and hem: the American letterman pattern, set to music.
The woven label reads Louis Vuitton Paris and the size label 50, made in Italy. The composition label gives 76% wool and 24% nylon with lambskin leather parts and a cupro and cotton lining.
