A guide for this piece: about $62, 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.

Harajuku on tour
This is a jacket from the years when Harajuku rockabilly was being invented in real time. One face is pure Tokyo, a dragon over the words Cat Street; the other is the band on the road, Black Cats and a run of American cities under the date 1982. Worn, stained at the cuffs and entirely itself.
Best for: Rockabilly and Harajuku subculture collectors; CREAM SODA archivists
Condition notes
Visible wear throughout: raised nap and fraying, notably at the cuff edges, and staining on the ivory satin face, most marked at the cuffs. Sold as a worn piece of the period.

A reversible CREAM SODA jacket from the 1980s: black rayon embroidered with dragons and the words Cat Street Tokyo, reversing to ivory satin lettered Black Cats U.S.A Tour 1982. Tagged size 40.
The Piece
The ivory face leads. Across the back, BLACK CATS and U.S.A TOUR in red and black are set over a black cat-woman silhouette inside a yellow sun, with two more in their own suns at the shoulders. Six American cities from Seattle to Irvine are stitched around her, with 1982 in bold black at the hem.
On the black face, Cat Street runs in cream script over a gold dragon holding a flaming pearl among clouds, with TOKYO beneath. Dragon heads face each other on the chest, and a dragon climbs the full length of each sleeve.
CREAM SODA is the Tokyo rockabilly house whose shop staff formed the band Black Cats, and this jacket carries both names.
