A guide for this piece: about $219, 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.

Memento mori, then myth
Most sukajan choose a single register; this one keeps two. The quilted face holds the oldest pairing in the souvenir jacket vocabulary, dragon against tiger, in full colour, while the velveteen face answers in bone white with a skull and serpent. An XL from Tailor Toyo's own pattern line, it wears with the easy breadth the originals had.
Best for: Collectors of Tailor Toyo reversibles who want the larger cut
Condition notes
Well kept with light signs of use; no conspicuous marks or stains noted. Soft creasing to the velveteen pile and satin sleeves.

A reversible Tailor Toyo sukajan, reference TT15666, in size XL: one face quilted in black and silver, where a dragon meets a tiger, the other in black velveteen with a skull, a snake and a spider web.
The Piece
The quilted side carries the richest embroidery. On the diamond-quilted black back, a gold and green dragon descends from a stylised Mount Fuji towards a striped tiger among red clouds, with Japan in red script above. Two small birds rest on the chest; the sleeves are silver satin.
Turn it and the jacket goes dark. On black velveteen, a cracked skull rests on crossed bones while a grey serpent winds through its eye, set against a white spider web and the script word Japon. Two smaller skulls sit on the chest and a pale dragon climbs each sleeve. Striped rib in green, cream and gold closes both faces.
The label carries the Tailor Toyo mark with Mount Fuji, cherry blossom and torii gate, and the words Hand Embroidery: the house behind the original Yokosuka souvenir jackets.
