A guide for this piece: about $630, 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.

A double rider jacket from Diesel Black Gold in black leather, armoured from collar to hem with studs, rows of zips, metal badges and numbered plaques, and laced at the back. Size XS, kept in excellent order.
The Piece
Diesel Black Gold was the Italian house's upper line, where the label's taste for hard-worn denim and leather was given the precision of a luxury atelier. This rider is the most theatrical expression of that spirit: a classic asymmetric double-breasted form, dressed like a ceremonial uniform, with a crest-like eagle, circular medals, engraved plaques and a plate reading DBG set across the chest and arms.
Lines of flat studs run along the zips and down the sleeves, and each cuff carries a pocket zip, a leather tab and a snap. The shoulders are quilted, the back collar is trimmed with a black-and-white check, and lacing at the waist lets the back be adjusted to the body. The leather is soft and supple, though the metalwork gives the jacket a notable weight, which is worth knowing before you wear it for a long evening.
No flat measurements are recorded for this piece, so our Tokyo concierge team will gladly measure it for you before you decide. Every measurement is taken by hand with the piece laid flat, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in).
