A guide for this piece: about $287, 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 reversible Hermès bomber jacket, quilted in a silk print of tarot figures in gold, green and ivory on deep navy, with a plain navy side for quieter days. Tag size 52, in excellent condition.
The Piece
Hermès began with the harness and the saddle, and the house has always treated the printed silk as its second language. Here that language is stitched into outerwear. The jacket is cut in the classic MA-1 manner, with a ribbed collar, cuffs and hem in navy, and a centre zip. On the printed side the silk is diamond-quilted, so that every figure sits in soft relief.
The design is Le Tarot: kings, knights and wheels of fortune drawn in the manner of old playing cards, ringed in gold chain borders and set against midnight blue. The words LE TAROT are printed across the upper back, above a great circular medallion of a green-robed king. On the front, a second medallion sits near the zip, and the pattern runs on across the sleeves.
Turn the jacket and the mood changes completely: the reverse is a solid navy, calm and unadorned, which lets the piece pass from collector's statement to discreet outer layer.

Authenticity & Care
The Hermès Paris label, with its size mark and fibre content panel, is photographed inside the jacket, and the printed side is shown in close detail. Handle gently: silk is delicate, so avoid washing at home and entrust the jacket to a specialist cleaner.
