A guide for this piece: about $89, 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.

The Bee Who Carried a Sword
A team jacket in the oldest sense: a creed sewn across the back so that everyone behind you can read it. KRAZY BEE was Kid Yamamoto's own fight team, and its Samurai Bee is drawn here in white cloth on black quilting, as plain and direct as the man it stood behind.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese fight team wear and Kid Yamamoto memorabilia
Condition notes

A quilted, padded jacket from KRAZY BEE, the Tokyo fight team founded by Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto: black nylon, a red lining, and the team's Samurai Bee emblem worked in white appliqué front and back. Size label absent; measures as a men's L.
The Piece
The back leads. A skeletal bee with striped abdomen and veined wings grips a sword across the shoulders, and below it runs the team creed in white script: "Attack Like a Samurai, Kill Like a Krazy Bee." Each shape is white cloth, zigzag stitched over the diamond quilting.
The front carries two large characters reading Samurai Bee, one either side of a full zip, with a gate-shaped appliqué at the lower right and a further patch at the left cuff. Collar, cuffs and hem are black rib. Inside, the red lining carries the KRAZY BEE neck label beside two further house marks.
Kid Yamamoto was among the most celebrated Japanese fighters of the K-1 HERO'S era, and KRAZY BEE was the team he built around him.
