A guide for this piece: about $69, 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 dark brown two-button jacket carrying an UNDER COVER SAMPLE tag, cut from a nubbly cloth flecked with tiny blue crosses and lined in a slate silk-feel print of houses and trees.
The Piece
Samples are the working pieces of a collection, made before production and kept in the studio for showroom and press use. This jacket carries a handwritten UNDER COVER SAMPLE tag reading H-16-3 alongside the orange-script Undercoverism FOR REBELS label, and is attributed to Autumn/Winter 2002, the season Japanese collectors call the Witch's Cell Division era.
The outer cloth is a deep chocolate brown with a soft, slightly boucled surface, scattered with small blue cross motifs that only appear up close. The lining is the quiet surprise: a dark slate ground printed with pale blue houses, trees and rooftops, like a faded storybook, which flashes at the open front and at the turned-back cuffs.
The cut is a neat single-breasted two-button blazer with notch lapels, a chest patch pocket and two large rounded patch pockets at the hips, with working-style button cuffs. Tagged Large, it measures 44 cm across the shoulder and 50 cm pit to pit, a trim, slightly short-bodied fit in keeping with early Undercoverism tailoring.
No composition label is present, as is common on studio samples; the hand and weight suggest a wool-blend cloth. It was made in Japan.
