A guide for this piece: about $799, 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.

A Louis Vuitton bomber jacket worked entirely in patchwork denim, its indigo ground layered with frayed pale appliqué in cloud-like shapes. Monogram, damier and quilted jacquard panels surface across the body, in size 50 and in notably light condition.
The Piece
This bomber takes the house’s monogram and damier codes and treats them as raw material. Panels of woven monogram jacquard sit beside faded denim checks and fine grid quilting, then are overlaid with raw-edged pieces of washed cotton that fray into soft fringes. Delicate white stitching in a circular pattern traces across the chest and back, and a small Louis Vuitton Paris mark is set high on the back in white.
The silhouette is the classic bomber, with a ribbed navy collar, cuffs and hem, a gold-toned double-ended zip, and slanted front pockets. The reference printed on the inside label is RM252M, and the lining is cotton and rayon in deep navy.
Recorded measurements, taken flat: shoulder 53 cm (20.9 in), chest width 63 cm (24.8 in), length 64 cm (25.2 in), sleeve 68 cm (26.8 in). Each figure is taken by hand, so please allow 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in) of variance.
