A guide for this piece: about $54, 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.

Devotion, turned up loud
GALFY takes the most reverent image a souvenir jacket can carry, a goddess on a lotus in a halo of flame, and plays it with a grin: a joke in the kanji, a cartoon dog on the chest, leopard pile inside. The embroidery itself is serious work, dense and luminous on the burgundy velour.
Best for: Wearers who like their sukajan devout and irreverent at once
Condition notes

A GALFY souvenir jacket in burgundy velour, its back given over to a goddess seated on a lotus with a stringed instrument in her arms, ringed by violet flame, and its inside lined in a deep leopard-print pile.
The Piece
The back is pure devotion with a wink. The goddess sits cross-legged on a pink lotus throne, robed in orange and gold, her instrument held across her lap, while violet and lilac flames rise around her and a gold halo frames her head. A line of gold kanji arches above, playing on the idea of a goddess of strings.
The front carries the house dog, embroidered in tan and cream on the right chest, with short vertical kanji lines in white and gold at the left chest and beside each sleeve seam. White chain-stitch flames lick up both sleeves, and cream rib closes the collar, cuffs and hem.
Inside, the body is lined in plush leopard-print pile with the GALFY Crutch Brand diamond patch. GALFY is the Japanese street label known for its cartoon dog mascot and playful sizing: the label reads medium-sized dog, the house way of saying L.
