A guide for this piece: about $194, 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 name written tone on tone
Givenchy writes its name across the full width of the chest and then almost hides it, grey on black, legible only up close. The hood and calfskin sleeves move the letterman toward everyday outerwear. A varsity jacket for someone who prefers the signature to be felt rather than shouted.
Best for: Givenchy collectors; all-black leather-sleeved varsity wardrobes
Condition notes
Light signs of use; minor marks possible on close inspection. Soft creasing to the calfskin sleeves.

A Givenchy hooded varsity jacket, reference BM00XX6Y16: black wool body, black calfskin sleeves, and the house name spelled in wide tonal capitals straight across the chest. Made in Italy and tagged 46.
The Piece
The front carries the jacket's design. GIVENCHY runs from one side of the chest to the other in widely spaced grey letters set tone on tone against the black wool, a quiet way to write a name at full width. The left sleeve bears the interlocked 4G mark worked into the leather, and two vertical welt pockets sit low on the body.
The construction mixes letterman and outerwear. A wool hood rises from the collar with a metal zip running up its centre seam, the front closes with silver-tone snaps, and black and white striped rib finishes the cuffs and hem. The calfskin sleeves have a supple, even grain, and the lining is cupro with cotton pocket bags.
The varsity form has been a steady part of Givenchy menswear in recent seasons, treated here with the house's preference for black, restraint and sharp proportion.
