A guide for this piece: about $53, 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.

Two Monsters, One Jacket
The 1971 duel between Godzilla and the Smog Monster, worn both ways: a silver-grey Godzilla roaring across navy satin, and a dripping, rainbow-hued Hedorah over factory chimneys on black velveteen. A witty, well-made pairing for kaiju collectors.
Best for: Godzilla collectors and lovers of embroidered souvenir jackets

A reversible Godzilla vs. Hedorah souvenir jacket, model GZL-2509: Godzilla embroidered across a navy rayon satin back on one side, Hedorah the Smog Monster across black velveteen on the other. Unworn, size M.
The Piece
The navy side leads. Godzilla rears across the whole back in dense silver, grey and white stitching, mouth open and atomic breath streaming upward, his tail curling around a vertical title stitched in deep red. The raglan sleeves are a pale natural satin, and the collar, cuffs and hem are ribbed in navy and cream. A small red title sits at the chest.
Turn it inside out and the mood changes. On black velveteen, Hedorah rises in dripping orange, red, yellow and green over grey factory chimneys and swirling smoke, with "hedorah" written above in white script and THE SMOG MONSTER beneath. The chest repeats the monster beside the film title, and a long red and yellow title runs down one sleeve.
Godzilla vs. Hedorah, released by Toho in 1971 and known abroad as Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster, is the series' most psychedelic entry, a pollution parable with a monster born of sludge. The jacket answers it with two faces.
