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.

Rodeo lines on a letterman
Instead of an initial, this teddy speaks through its cut: a sweeping cream yoke borrowed from western dress. It is the rare varsity jacket that is graphic without any graphics. Quietly one of the more unusual Celine teddies.
Best for: Collectors of Celine menswear; minimal two-tone wardrobes

A Celine teddy jacket in black wool, its shoulders capped front and back by a sculpted yoke of cream lambskin that curves down into the sleeves like a western shirt. Made in Italy and tagged 48.
The Piece
The leather yoke is the whole design. Cut in a deep, rounded arc, it frames the collar from the front and spreads across the upper back in one smooth cream panel, so the jacket reads two-tone from every side without a single patch or letter.
The rest is classic letterman: black wool body and sleeves, a column of black snaps, two slanted welt pockets edged in cream leather, and black and cream striped rib at the collar, cuffs and hem. Inside is a smooth black rayon lining.
Celine menswear under Hedi Slimane treated the teddy as a recurring canvas, and this version swaps the familiar initial for a shape borrowed from rodeo and rockabilly dress.
