A guide for this piece: about $346, 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 jacket by J.H. Design, made to mark five championships: a bull's head, trophies and 5 Time Champions lettering fill the back, while the sleeves carry gold stars, stripes and a 1997 NBA Finals patch. Size S, near unused.
The Piece
J.H. Design, the Los Angeles house of Jeff Hamilton, made its name by turning team victories into heavily worked leather garments, and this Premier Edition jacket is a full expression of the idea. The body is black leather, set with panels of red, white and gold, and finished with a ribbed, elasticated hem and a snap front.
On the back, a red bull's head sits at the centre beneath the words CHICAGO BULLS and a large 97, framed by four gold trophies numbered 91, 92, 93 and 96, with 5 TIME CHAMPIONS in white and red capitals along the hem. At the front, a smaller Bulls emblem is ringed with the same years, beside 5 TIME CHAMPIONS in script. One sleeve is red leather set with a column of five gold stars; the other is white, striped in gold and black, with an NBA Finals 1997 patch at the shoulder.
Inside, the lining is red satin. A woven J.H. eagle label marks size S, a white label reads Official Licensed Product, ©1995 NBA Properties, Inc., Made and Designed in the U.S.A. by J.H. Design, Los Angeles, CA, and a signed diamond patch is lettered Premier Edition, Handmade in the U.S.A. Measured flat: shoulder 50 cm (19.7 in), length 70 cm (27.6 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).
