A guide for this piece: about $65, 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.

Rider's oath in white thread
A motorcycle clothing maker borrows the sukajan and keeps its own accent: a shirt collar, pistons in the skull, Forever written like a club motto. The rayon reverse answers with Mount Fuji and an eagle, the souvenir vocabulary in full. Black on black, it is the quietest way to wear this much embroidery.
Best for: Motorcycle and amekaji wardrobes; dark motif sukajan collectors

A reversible souvenir jacket by West Ride, from its Cycletogs line: black cotton with a soft pile, embroidered on the back with a skull, a coiling snake and a spider web beneath the word Forever, and turning to a black rayon side where an eagle and a serpent fly before Mount Fuji among skulls and cherry blossom. Tagged 38.
The Piece
The outer back reads like motorcycle club flash. A white skull rests on crossed pistons inside a fine spider web, a red and orange snake curls around it, and Forever is written above in pale script. Two skulls face each other on the chest. Instead of the usual rib collar, the jacket has a flat shirt collar and a concealed zip, with cream rib at the cuffs and hem, so it wears closer to a work jacket than a bomber.
Turn it inside out for the second statement. The black rayon face carries Mount Fuji, an eagle with a green serpent, a large skull with crossed bones, three smaller skulls and a sprig of cherry blossom, all in white and grey thread that glows against the black.
West Ride is a Japanese maker of motorcycle clothing, and the Cycletogs label with its San Francisco script nods to the American riding gear it draws on; this jacket brings that world to the souvenir jacket form.
