A guide for this piece: about $89, 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 Tom Ford-era Gucci tailored blazer in supple dark chocolate leather, cut with sharp peak lapels and a nipped waist in the precise, sensual line that defined the house at the turn of the millennium.
The Piece
Between 1994 and 2004 Tom Ford took Gucci from a tired heritage label to the most talked-about house in fashion. His formula was precise tailoring, rich materials and an unmistakable sensuality, and leather was central to it: blazers, trousers and coats cut as cleanly as wool suiting. Today these pieces are collected both for their place in fashion history and because they remain completely wearable.
This blazer, model 102181, is attributed to the early 2000s. It is made in Italy from smooth cowhide in a deep chocolate brown that shows a hint of oxblood in the light. The cut follows Ford's signature: wide peak lapels, a two-button front with Gucci-engraved horn-effect buttons, a seamed and shaped waist with a horizontal panel at the hip, a single back vent and cuffs finished with a seamed band. It is lined in a nylon-acetate twill with the Gucci Made in Italy label.
Size 40 (Italian) fits a UK 8 or US 4, with a 39 cm shoulder, 41 cm across the chest and 68 cm in length. The shape is close and fitted at the waist, so it works best buttoned over a fine knit or silk blouse.
Worn with dark denim or black trousers it has the polished ease of the Ford years, and the leather will only deepen with wear.

Authenticity & Care
The labels, materials, stitching, hardware and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch; anything that cannot be confirmed is stated plainly in the description. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee. Have it cleaned by a leather specialist and store on a broad hanger away from heat and sun.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Japan and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Lay a shirt or jacket you already love beside them and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale.
