A guide for this piece: about $231, 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.

Ivy green, one initial
Green is the most collegiate of the Teddy colours, the shade of old boathouses and school blazers. Paired with cream leather and a single C, it is bright without being loud. A season-specific colourway that stands apart from the black and navy staples.
Best for: Collectors of Celine menswear; pared back varsity wardrobes
Condition notes
Light fuzzing to the wool surface and general signs of use; good wearing order.

The Celine Classic Teddy jacket, reference 2V56D896C: green wool body, cream lambskin sleeves and black leather across the shoulder yoke, and a single cream C set on the chest and again, larger, at the centre of the back. Made in Italy and tagged 52.
The Piece
The back carries the house initial alone, a broad cream C appliquéd on the green wool and outlined in a fine raised border, with nothing else to compete. The front repeats it at the left chest, above two slanted welt pockets edged in cream leather.
The cut is the short, boxy letterman: tonal snaps, green, navy and cream striped rib at the collar, cuffs and hem, and soft, fine-grained lambskin sleeves.
The Teddy jacket became a constant of Celine menswear under Hedi Slimane, who read the American letterman through his long fascination with youth and rock culture; 2V56D896C is the classic version of that idea.
