A guide for this piece: about $478, 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.

An all-leather Chicago Bulls championship jacket by Jeff Hamilton, the back worked in raised appliqué with a bull's head, trophies and a globe-shaped basketball beneath a 3-Peat banner. Size M, from a limited edition dated February 2001.
The Piece
Jeff Hamilton built his name in the 1990s on sports jackets that treated leather as a sculptural medium, and this is one of the most ambitious of them. The back is a full-scale relief: a red bull with white horns rises from a laurel wreath, a cluster of trophies behind it and a basketball cut from pebbled orange leather below, all framed by a skyline and a CHAMPIONS scroll marked 1998. Each sleeve carries the title years in stitched numerals, 91, 92, 93 and 96, 97, 98, together with an Eastern Conference patch, an NBA Finals patch and the maker's eagle crest.
The front is quieter by comparison: a red upper body and black lower body divided by a skyline silhouette, the bull emblem at the chest, 3-Peat lettering at the shoulder and a ribbed knit hem and collar. The lining is satin in violet and blue, and a limited-edition certificate label signed by the designer is sewn inside. The first owner recalled that the numeral 98 on one arm was applied inverted by hand, which marks this example as unrepeatable.
Measured flat: length 70 cm (27.6 in), body width 58 cm (22.8 in), shoulder width 55 cm (21.7 in), sleeve length 62 cm (24.4 in). Every measurement is taken by hand with the piece laid flat, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in).
