A guide for this piece: about $99, 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 tiger watching over the base towns
The souvenir jacket in both of its classic voices. The quilted blue face is pure bravura, a full-backed tiger in gold and ivory thread; the green face is the souvenir proper, a stitched map naming the towns where such jackets were first bought.
Best for: Collectors of map sukajan and Toyo Enterprise reversibles
Condition notes
Light marks and puckering at the collar, cuffs and rib hem; a loose thread beside the right pocket. Soft creasing to the satin consistent with wear.

A reversible Kosho & Co sukajan, reference TT15198: royal blue quilted acetate with a tiger across the whole back, turning to green satin embroidered with a map of Japan. Made in Japan. Tagged L.
The Piece
The blue face is the showpiece. Diamond quilted in white thread with silver satin sleeves, it carries a tiger in gold and ivory thread lowering its head among bamboo above pale rocks; on the chest an orange dragon coils opposite a climbing tiger.
Turned out, the jacket becomes green satin with mustard sleeves and red piping. The back shows Mount Fuji, a dragon rising from the waves and a map naming the old base towns, Sapporo, Misawa, Tachikawa and Sasebo among them; a dragon head and an eagle sit on the chest.
The Kosho & Co label, lettered Tokyo and Yokohama, is the name under which Toyo Enterprise revives the souvenir jackets of the post-war base towns.
