A guide for this piece: about $166, 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 varsity jacket from Kansai O2, the casual line of Kansai Yamamoto, in black wool with leather sleeves. A white-headed eagle fills the back in chenille, pile and embroidery above the Kansai Yamamoto name.
The Piece
The eagle is built up in layers, with a fleece head, an orange beak and stitched feathers, set against a yellow sun, beaded purple cloud bands and scrolling blue clouds. The designer's name runs beneath it in purple and yellow script, and the left chest repeats the sun and cloud motif around a red emblem.
The body fastens with brass-toned snaps and has two zipped pockets, cream striped ribbing and a quilted lining. The cut is wide and short in the manner of the period.
