A guide for this piece: about $56, 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.

Jeans from the collaboration between Kenzo and Levi's, cut from dark indigo cotton denim in the Lot 501 style and fitted with a pair of blue braces. Size 34, gently worn, with a button fly and a double-branded patch at the back.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long drawn its energy from the meeting of Tokyo sensibility and Parisian ease. Levi's brings the other half of the story, the riveted American five-pocket jean that has defined casual dress for more than a century. Together they produced a pair that treats the 501 with real respect while adding a distinctly Parisian wink.
The denim is a deep, even indigo with golden contrast stitching, copper rivets and the arcuate pocket stitching of the original. The braces, in blue webbing with leather tabs, attach at the waistband and cross at the back, where a leather centre piece holds them together. The signature is the leather-look red patch at the back waistband, which combines the Levi's Lot 501 design with the KENZO PARIS name set vertically along its edge.
Measured flat: waist 82 cm (32.3 in), rise 31.5 cm (12.4 in), thigh width 27.5 cm (10.8 in), inseam 84 cm (33.1 in), hem width 21.5 cm (8.5 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).
