A guide for this piece: about $79, 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 camel corduroy trucker from Autumn/Winter 2003, Touch Me I'm Sick, the Kurt Cobain season that defines Takahiro Miyashita's Number (N)ine for collectors around the world.
The Piece
Autumn/Winter 2003, titled Touch Me I'm Sick after the Mudhoney song, is the Number (N)ine season collectors talk about most. Miyashita channelled Kurt Cobain and the Seattle grunge scene into thrift-store silhouettes made with obsessive Japanese craft, and pieces from it are now among the most sought-after in Japanese menswear.
This trucker jacket is a quintessential example: a fitted, cropped corduroy jacket in warm camel with twin flap chest pockets, angled hand pockets, decorative stitched detailing along the front yoke and burgundy shank buttons. The back is clean with adjustable button tabs at the waist.
The jacket carries the handwritten-style Number (N)ine Takahiro Miyashita label, the Kooks Co., Ltd. size label marked 3, and a composition label reading 100% cotton, made in Japan.
Size 3 measures 44 cm across the shoulders and 49 cm pit to pit, with a 64 cm length; it suits a medium in the trim, cropped way Miyashita intended.

Authenticity & Care
The labels, materials, stitching, hardware and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch; anything that cannot be confirmed is stated plainly in the description.

Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Japan and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Lay a shirt or jacket you already love beside them and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size guide to tops and jackets turns pit-to-pit figures into US, UK, EU and Japanese sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
