A guide for this piece: about $59, 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.

Denim with a spine
KIDILL takes the five-pocket jean and grows plates down its legs: rows of stuffed, sculpted denim that rise from the seams like the back of the monster the trousers are named for. Brushed black over indigo gives them a scorched, after-the-battle look. Wearable sculpture, made in Japan.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese avant-garde and punk design

KIDILL's Godzilla denim, reference KL1051: wide indigo jeans whose legs are ridged, front and back, with rows of sculpted denim plates, washed over with a brushed black finish. Size 44, made in Japan.
The Piece
From a distance they read as classic five-pocket jeans in raw-toned indigo, cut high and wide with a straight fall to the hem. Closer, the legs come alive. Down the outer line of each leg, from hip to ankle, the denim swells into stuffed, pointed lobes, set in staggered rows like the dorsal plates of the monster the trousers are named for. The same ridges run down the back, either side of a leather waistband patch.
Across the surface, smoky grey and black is brushed over the indigo, gathering on the ridges and around the fly; the mark even reaches the woven KIDILL label inside the waistband, which shows it to be part of the finish. Contrast gold stitching, a zip fly and a metal shank button complete the jeans.
KIDILL is the Tokyo label of designer Hiroaki Sueyasu, known for turning punk and subculture references into precise, often provocative tailoring.
