A guide for this piece: about $188, 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 jackets in one: a navy velveteen face with a squadron crest, flags and a pair of coiling dragons, and a silver satin face quilted in diamonds with twin tigers and an embroidered map of Japan. Size XXL, unworn, with the maker's tags attached.
The Piece
Buzz Rickson's, the Tokyo workshop known for its painstaking military reproductions, joins here with the Yokohama house Kosho & Co., one of the old names of the souvenir jacket trade. The result is a special-edition sukajan that reads as a small history of airmen stationed in Japan, with each side tuned to a different mood.
The velveteen face carries a fighter-bomber squadron crest across the back, lettered 334th F.B. Sq. above the word Chitose Japan, with three national flags and an embroidered jet between them. Dragons climb both sleeves in cream and red thread, and the chest bears a boxing-rooster squadron patch beside the name Chuck in raised lettering.
Turn it over and the mood lightens. The silver satin face holds two roaring tigers on the chest, while the back unfolds a pictorial map of the archipelago, with Mount Fuji, a maiko in a red kimono and city names from Sapporo to Nagasaki picked out in coloured thread. The jacket is wadded for warmth, with a wool rib collar, cuffs and hem in a pale oatmeal.
