A guide for this piece: about $588, 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.

Flared trousers in printed velvet from Tom Ford's Autumn 1999 collection for Gucci, the season of the psychedelic swirl. Marked size 42, made in Italy, and graded close to unused.
The Piece
Bands of moss green, mustard, coral and black curl across the pile in a marbled pattern, with the house signature written into the print in a fine script. The leg is slim through the thigh and opens to a generous flare at the hem.
A concealed zip and hook close the low waist, and the trousers are fully lined in beige. The velvet is a rayon and silk blend, which gives the colours their depth and a soft, heavy drape.

Authenticity & Care
Described as an authentic Gucci piece of the Tom Ford years; the house labels and maker's marks appear in the photographs. The Desk has not yet handled it, and our curators check every detail in Japan before dispatch. Follow the care label, which advises gentle dry cleaning, and store away from sunlight.
Delivery from Japan
The garment is packed by hand in Japan, folded flat in tissue. Shipping is quoted and agreed with you before purchase, weighing EMS, then FedEx, then air cargo, all insured and tracked. Duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand with the pair laid flat, in centimetres. Measure jeans or trousers that already fit you the same way and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our jeans and trousers size guide reads waist and inseam in inches and centimetres, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
Considered offers are welcome through Send an Offer, and each one is reviewed personally. See more from Gucci, or browse what has just arrived.
