A guide for this piece: about $59, 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.

An early Jun Takahashi piece from Spring/Summer 2001 'Chaotic Discord': a mandarin-collar China jacket cut in tiger-stripe camouflage cotton and fastened with black frog closures.
The Piece
Spring/Summer 2001 sits in the formative years of Undercover, the period when Jun Takahashi moved from Harajuku street labels towards the Paris runway and began fusing punk, military and craft references into something entirely his own. 'Chaotic Discord' is named on the large inside label, printed in acid green alongside the season and the graffiti-style Undercover tag, and pieces from these early collections have become some of the most collected in Japanese fashion.
This is the China jacket from that season. It is cut from a lightweight cotton printed with a tiger-stripe camouflage in khaki, olive, black and bone, with a standing mandarin collar and six black knotted frog closures down the front. Two patch pockets sit at the hip, and a small embroidered motif at the left chest adds a typically Takahashi detail to an otherwise traditional shape.
It is tagged Free size and wears like a modern men's medium: 45 cm across the shoulder, 45 cm pit to pit and 65.5 cm long, with 62 cm sleeves. That makes it a neat, slightly cropped overshirt rather than a boxy jacket.
Wear it buttoned as a shirt jacket over a plain tee, or open with black trousers and boots. The combination of military print and Chinese workwear is pure early-2000s Undercover, and it still looks remarkably current.

Authenticity & Care
The labels, materials, stitching, hardware and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch; anything that cannot be confirmed is stated plainly in the description. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee. Cold hand wash or gentle dry clean, dry flat in the shade to protect the print.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Japan and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Lay a shirt or jacket you already love beside them and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size guide to tops and jackets turns pit-to-pit figures into US, UK, EU and Japanese sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
