A guide for this piece: about $31, 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.

Studio D'Artisan Lot XXX-25, believed to mark the Osaka label's 25th anniversary, with the dark-brown pig patch and the house seagull stitch on the back pockets.
The Piece
Studio D'Artisan, founded in Osaka in 1979 by Shigeharu Tagaki, is generally credited as the first of the Japanese reproduction denim makers. Its pig patch, showing two pigs pulling at a pair of jeans, is the label's answer to the old horse-pull patches of American workwear, and the seagull stitch on its back pockets is just as recognisable.
This pair carries the XXX-25 lot number on its quality label, understood to refer to the house 25th-anniversary run. The patch reads Studio D'Artisan and SA, American Village, Osaka, with Last Generation Denim and Cotton 100% Indigo Denim. There is a button fly and a white twill pocket lining.
The jeans are in good used condition with no notable damage. The indigo is still mostly dark, with soft fading at the thighs, seat and pocket edges and gentle whiskering at the hips. The cut is a straight leg with a relaxed thigh, and the inseam is about 70 cm.
A piece of the label's history from the house that started the Japanese denim movement.

Every figure above is taken by hand with the pair laid flat, in centimetres. Measure jeans or trousers that already fit you the same way and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale.
