A guide for this piece: about $168, 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 sound word, stitched at poster scale
Here a comic-strip explosion becomes the whole back of a Paris letterman, frozen at the instant of impact. The front stays almost mute so that one word can do all the talking. It is an artist's season worn as a jacket, and one of the most graphic varsity pieces Celine has made.
Best for: Celine and art-collaboration collectors; slim black varsity wardrobes
Condition notes
Visible signs of use with some light marks and scuffs; embroidered back panel clean and complete in the photographs.

A Celine varsity jacket from Spring/Summer 2019, reference 2V439409B: black wool through the body, black lambskin sleeves, and across the back a large embroidered panel from the house's collaboration with the artist Christian Marclay, the comic-book word KABLOOSH bursting over a shattered field. Tagged 44.
The Piece
The back carries the whole idea. A tall rectangular panel in cream and black thread shows the hand-lettered word KABLOOSH breaking apart at the top, with a starburst of splinters beneath it and a mountain of jagged, broken shards filling the lower half. It reads like a single frame lifted from a comic at the moment of impact, enlarged to the scale of a poster.
The front is kept deliberately quiet: black snaps from collar to hem, two slanted welt pockets edged in leather, black rib at collar, cuffs and hem, and no chest lettering at all. The sleeves are smooth black lambskin with a soft, lived-in grain, and the lining is black rayon. The cut is slim and short in the body, the Paris letterman as Celine prefers it.
Christian Marclay has long built work from the sound words of comics, and this collaboration carried those words onto Celine menswear for the 2019 summer season.
