A guide for this piece: about $112, 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 tiger in Florentine green
Gucci takes the American letterman jacket and makes it unmistakably its own: emerald wool, a snarling tiger embroidered at full size across the back, and the house name spelt GUCCY in a knowing play on itself. A rust silk-blend lining finishes it like tailoring.
Best for: Gucci collectors; statement outerwear wardrobes
Condition notes
Light signs of wear. A few small pale marks on the green wool near the front snaps and crest, as photographed.

A Gucci varsity jacket, reference 495032 Z524H, in emerald green wool: a tiger head embroidered in full colour across the back beneath GUCCY in cream lettering, a chenille G crest on the chest, and white and tan striped shoulders. Made in Italy. Tagged size 44.
The Piece
The back leads. The tiger is worked in dense multicoloured embroidery, orange and cream fur, green eyes and an open red mouth, and sits beneath GUCCY in cream letters with a contrast outline. Above, white and tan stripes run over each shoulder, and a small badge is set on the left sleeve.
On the front, a yellow-edged chenille crest carries a large G above a banner. The snap front is closed with branded metal snaps, the welt pockets are piped in white and tan, and the cuffs fasten with a snap tab rather than rib. Inside, a rust quilted lining in rayon and silk carries the woven GUCCI label.
GUCCY, a deliberate misspelling, belongs to the playful vocabulary of Alessandro Michele's years as creative director.
