A guide for this piece: about $898, 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.

Leather as drapery
A runway jacket from the year Tom Ford treated leather as if it were jersey. The ruching is the whole design, and it has softened further with time.
Best for: The collector of 1990s runway leather

A collarless jacket in fine black leather from Tom Ford's Autumn 1999 runway for Gucci, gathered and draped along the front so that the skin falls in soft vertical folds. Marked size 38 and made in Italy.
The Piece
The cut is narrow through the shoulder and waist, closing at the centre front with a concealed fastening beneath the ruching. Long sleeves are gathered along their length in the same manner, giving the whole surface a liquid, creased sheen.
Inside, the body is lined, and the black house label carries the size beneath. It belongs to the season in which Ford set soft leather against bare skin and narrow tailoring.

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. Leather of this age asks for a specialist cleaner only; keep it on a broad hanger, away from heat, damp and direct sunlight.
Delivery from Japan
The garment is packed by hand in Japan, on tissue inside a sturdy carton. 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 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. Our size guide to tops and jackets turns pit-to-pit figures into US, UK, EU and Japanese sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
