A guide for this piece: about $131, 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.

Two Bombers, One Body
The MA-1 is the most copied jacket of the twentieth century; Mihara answers by doubling it. A second front hides inside the first, and the whole body is drawn into a cocoon, so the familiar military garment becomes a piece of soft architecture.
Best for: Collectors of deconstructed Japanese designer outerwear

A layered flight jacket from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference B13BL061: black nylon cut into a vast cocoon, with a double front of two zips, an olive quilted lining and a gathered seam down the back. Tagged 36.
The Piece
The front leads. Two jackets seem to share one body: an outer MA-1 shell opens over a second, inner front with its own long zip, so the olive quilting shows in a narrow band between the layers. A zipped utility pocket with its pen slots sits on the left sleeve, as on the military original.
The proportions are anything but regulation. The body swells into a rounded cocoon, the sleeves are gathered along their length, and a ruched seam runs down the centre back, drawing the nylon into soft folds. Black rib closes the collar, cuffs and hem.
Inside, the olive lining is quilted over a polyester fill and carries the Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO label at the neck. It is the house method in miniature: an American service jacket taken apart and rebuilt as something stranger.
