A guide for this piece: about $231, 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 signature on black
Most varsity jackets shout with patches; this one signs its name once and stops. The script logo across the back has the swagger of a team jersey and the poise of a couture label. Black and cream keep it nocturnal and very Parisian.
Best for: Saint Laurent collectors; dark minimal wardrobes
Condition notes

A Saint Laurent teddy jacket, reference 625918 Y180W, in black wool, with the house name written across the back in a large cream script, underlined with a sweeping flourish. Made in Italy and tagged 48.
The Piece
The back is a single gesture. Saint Laurent runs across the shoulder blades in raised cream script, finished with a long underline, the way a baseball team signs its jersey. Against the black wool it reads like a signature on a dark page.
The front is spare by design: a column of silver-toned snaps, two slanted welt pockets trimmed in cream leather, and cream and black striped rib at the collar, cuffs and hem. Inside, the lining is black and glossy.
The teddy has been part of the Saint Laurent wardrobe since Hedi Slimane's tenure and has stayed on under Anthony Vaccarello; the script back is one of its best known forms.
