A guide for this piece: about $31, 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.

The First Monster, in Thread
Most Godzilla clothing borrows a later, friendlier monster. This one goes back to 1954, to the grim original standing in a smoking city, and renders him in stitched greys like a still from the film. On an ivory track top it reads as part fan garment, part souvenir jacket.
Best for: Godzilla and kaiju collectors; Amekaji wardrobes

An officially licensed Godzilla track jacket by Nevermind: ivory stretch jersey with black panels, the original 1954 Godzilla rising over a ruined city in dense embroidery across the back. New, with its tags.
The Piece
The back is the reason to own it. The first Godzilla, the 1954 suit with its heavy brow and ragged dorsal plates, stands among toppled office blocks and billowing smoke, worked in black, charcoal and grey thread. Beside him the monster's name runs down the panel in bold red katakana in the manner of the original poster.
On the chest the same red name sits above the year 1954, a quiet signature for the front. The cut is a classic track top: stand collar, full zip, black raglan stripes running from collar to cuff, zipped hand pockets and deep black rib at cuffs and hem. The jersey has a little stretch.
