A guide for this piece: about $39, 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.

A Letterman for the Monster
The varsity jacket was made to honour a team; this one honours a warning. Under the collegiate lettering and the chenille G runs the line that gave Godzilla its meaning in 1954: the world was conquered by nuclear weapons. Campus Americana, rewritten as a Japanese parable.
Best for: Godzilla and kaiju collectors; varsity jacket wardrobes
Condition notes

A Godzilla varsity jacket made under Toho licence for the Japanese market: forest green wool, cream cowhide sleeves, a chenille G at the chest and GODZILLA SINCE 1954 arched across the back. Tagged L.
The Piece
The front leads. A large chenille G in green and cream, with GODZILLA stitched down its spine, sits on the right chest. Opposite, cream script reads: Godzilla conquered the world, that is, the world was conquered by nuclear weapons. The welt pockets are piped in cream leather and pointed like arrows, and chenille numerals and a small woven patch ride the sleeves.
On the back, GODZILLA is embroidered in outlined collegiate letters over SINCE 1954 and a round emblem of the monster's head, framed by more cream script and an arched line of anti-nuclear lettering below.
The body is a dense forest green wool, the raglan sleeves cream cowhide, and the snap front is closed with green and mustard striped rib at the shawl collar, cuffs and hem. Inside, a quilted cream lining carries the GODZILLA King of the Monsters label.
