A guide for this piece: about $421, 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 bootmaker's letterman
No chenille, no felt, no lettering: Berluti builds the campus jacket from hide alone and lets colour carry it. The bordeaux suede and oxblood calf are the tones of the house's patinated shoes, and the camel hair filling makes it as warm as it is quiet. Luxury that declines to announce itself.
Best for: Quiet-luxury wardrobes; collectors of Berluti leather
Condition notes
Light signs of use; softening to the suede nap and gentle creasing to the leather sleeves.

A Berluti varsity jacket, reference R25LBL137KAJT, cut entirely in calfskin: a bordeaux suede body, smooth leather raglan sleeves in a deeper oxblood, and a warm filling of camel hair and mulberry silk. Tagged R50.
The Piece
This is the letterman jacket translated into the language of a Parisian bootmaker. Where the American original sets felt letters on melton wool, Berluti relies on leather alone: the brushed suede of the body, the polished calf of the sleeves, and a discreet house mark at the chest. The colour is the point, a bordeaux suede that deepens to near black wherever the light leaves it.
The construction keeps the classic codes: snap front, slanted welt pockets edged in leather, raglan sleeves and striped rib in burgundy, cream and brown at the collar, cuffs and hem. Inside, the body is lined in quilted viscose and the sleeves in cupro, and a pale grey lambskin tag is debossed 1895 Berluti Paris.
The care label, in French and English, lists calfskin throughout, a filling of 48% camel hair, 48% polyester and 4% mulberry silk, and ribs of wool with polyamide and elastane.
