A guide for this piece: about $280, 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 hooded down jacket from READYMADE in olive cotton, its front and sleeves covered in embroidered squadron patches and its back worked with a pin-up mermaid and the words Ready for Duty. Orange lining, tag size 2, near unused.
The Piece
READYMADE is the Tokyo label that remakes military and workwear into something stranger and more personal, and this down jacket is among its most elaborate. The shell is a washed olive cotton, quilted into broad horizontal baffles, with a deep hood and orange drawcords that echo the lining inside.
Then come the badges. More than a dozen embroidered patches are stitched across the chest, sleeves and pockets, drawn in the manner of flight-squadron insignia: a skull with crossed bones, a smiling yellow face, a red fighting cat captioned The Red Aces, an atom, a recycling globe held in two hands, and a circular reversed R. A flag-shaped patch reading READYMADE Combat Crew sits on the shoulder.
The back is calmer and bolder at once. A great yellow sun is stitched behind a red-haired mermaid reclining in blue-green, with READY FOR DUTY lettered on either side in black.
Please ask for measurements, and we will take them flat before you decide.
