A guide for this piece: about $162, 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 vintage reversible bomber from Hermes in quilted silk, printed in gold, silver and red with winged crests, horses and ship's wheels on a black ground, and turning to plain black on the reverse. Size 46, Made in France, with the Hermes Paris label sewn inside.
The Piece
Hermes built its reputation on harnesses and saddlery, and the silk scarf, introduced in 1937, became the house's most recognised canvas for its equestrian and maritime imagery. This jacket brings that imagery to outerwear: a central crest with a winged figure on the back, flanked by crossed ribbons, ship's wheels and a crown of four horse heads at the shoulders, with the words Hermes Paris appearing within the print on the sleeve.
The silk is padded and quilted in a diamond stitch and finished with black knitted wool at the collar, cuffs and hem. Opened inside out, the jacket becomes a plain black bomber with a front zip and pockets on both faces. The zip pull is stamped, and the silk body is clean and bright against the black.
The maker's size is 46. Detailed measurements can be supplied on request through our Tokyo, Japan concierge team before purchase.
