A guide for this piece: about $86, 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.

Decades on the Flight Line
Mihara Yasuhiro's sun-faded finish turns a black cotton bomber into something that looks found rather than bought: ash on the shoulders, charcoal in every seam. The cargo pockets and onion-quilted lining keep the military bones in place.
Best for: Collectors of faded Japanese designer outerwear

A flight jacket from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A12BL041: an oversized cotton bomber faded from black to smoky grey, with bellows cargo pockets and a quilted lining. Tagged 48.
The Piece
The fade leads. The cotton shell has been washed and sun-faded so that the shoulders, chest and sleeves turn a pale ash grey while the seams, pocket edges and rib keep a deep charcoal, as though the jacket had spent decades on a flight line. It is the house's sun-faded finish at its most complete.
Two large bellows pockets with flaps sit low on the front, below two small flap pockets at the chest, and a patch is stitched high on the left sleeve. A long centre zip runs from the rib hem to a rib collar, and the cuffs are deep ribbed knit. The cut is wide and blousoned, with dropped shoulders.
Inside, a navy lining quilted in the rounded onion pattern of military liners runs through the body, with the Maison label at the centre back neck. The Modified# tag is stitched at the front hem.
