A guide for this piece: about $119, 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.

Gilded Paris uniform
Saint Laurent takes the most American of jackets and dresses it for the evening: a gold viscose and linen shell, black raglan sleeves, and a rib knit run through with metallic thread. Corded seams outline every panel like braid on a bandleader’s coat. It reads less as sportswear than as a Paris house paying homage to rock and roll.
Best for: Evening tailoring wardrobes; Saint Laurent collectors
Condition notes
Light signs of use with no conspicuous damage noted. The gold shell shows the soft creasing natural to a viscose and linen cloth.
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 Saint Laurent Paris varsity jacket, reference 643883 Y1C31: a gold shell in viscose and linen, black raglan sleeves, corded seams in gold and black, and a striped rib knit lit with metallic thread. Tagged size 44, made in Italy.
The Piece
The front leads. Gold panels flank a snap placket, each snap engraved with the house name, and two welt pockets are edged in twisted gold and black cord. The same cord traces every raglan seam, framing the black sleeves in gold.
At the back, the cord rises from each underarm to meet at the collar, framing a clean gold panel. The rib at collar, cuffs and hem is sand with black bands and a metallic gold stripe, the one true note of shine. The lining is black, with the Saint Laurent Paris label.
Saint Laurent has returned to the varsity jacket season after season, recasting the American campus jacket in the house's rock and roll register.
