A guide for this piece: about $54, 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.

Fifty years on the road
The satin side reads like a tour itinerary sewn in thread, a dragon flying the length of Japan from Sapporo southward, dated for the house's half century. Turn it and the navy velveteen keeps to the AVIREX eagle and the plain word JAPAN. A precise anniversary document that still wears as two different jackets.
Best for: AVIREX collectors; anyone wanting a reversible in M

A reversible AVIREX souvenir jacket from the house's 50th anniversary, reference 783-5252023: orange and gold satin with a dragon riding above a map of Japan on one face, navy cotton velveteen with the AVIREX LTD. eagle on the other. Tagged M.
The Piece
The satin back carries the most design. FAR EAST TOUR arcs across the shoulders; beneath it a dragon in bronze thread coils through clouds above an outline of Japan, cities stitched from Sapporo to Funabashi, Mount Fuji and waves. AVIREX 1975-2025 closes the panel. The orange front shows an eagle in flight and crossed American and Japanese flags; the sleeves are gold.
Reversed, the jacket is navy velveteen: AVIREX LTD. in a cream arc over a spread eagle holding both flags, with JAPAN below, and a dragon and a tiger in cream thread on the chest. Cream, grey and navy striped rib finishes the collar, cuffs and hem.
AVIREX, established in New York in 1975 as its label states, marks fifty years here with a black 50th Anniversary tab.
