A guide for this piece: about $13, 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 short-sleeved T-shirt from Kenzo in washed black, its chest carrying collegiate lettering above a roaring yellow tiger. Size XL, lightly worn, with a few small points of wear recorded below.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has built much of its modern identity on the tiger. This shirt belongs to the Varsity Jungle series, the collegiate-minded line designed under NIGO, in which block lettering of the sort found on a university jersey is paired with the beast in full cry. The tiger is rendered in saffron yellow with black stripes, a crimson mouth and a fringe of white whiskers, set against the soft charcoal of the ground.
The silhouette is deliberately easy: a boxy body, dropped shoulders and a crew neck, in a size XL that wears generously and layers well beneath an overshirt or a coach jacket. The reverse is left plain apart from the small red and white Kenzo Paris label stitched at the nape, which keeps the front the centre of attention.
The fabric has the gentle, lived-in softness of a shirt that has been washed and worn, and the black has settled to a faded charcoal that suits the graphic. It is an easy piece to wear, recognisable at a glance, and one that rewards a plain pairing.
