A guide for this piece: about $40, 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.

Monsters on a tour jacket
The map jacket was the serviceman's proof of where he had been. HOUSTON keeps the map and changes the travellers. The fade suits it, as it does most satin of this age.
Best for: Collectors of 1990s licensed monster apparel

A 1990s satin sukajan by HOUSTON in dusty pink with cream sleeves, embroidered with two Godzilla heads on the chest and, across the back, a souvenir map of the Philippines visited by Mothra and Godzilla.
The Piece
HOUSTON has made military and souvenir clothing in Japan since the post war years. In the 1990s it issued licensed monster jackets that borrowed the layout of the old tour jackets, and this is one of them.
The back follows the map jackets made for servicemen in Manila: the islands are outlined in gold chain stitch and named, Luzon, Mindoro, Panay, Cebu and Leyte, with Philippines in script above and Manila below. Mothra hovers over the north and Godzilla wades in from the south. On the front two blue Godzilla heads face each other across the zip. The jacket is lined in quilting and trimmed with olive ribbing striped in cream.
