A guide for this piece: about $62, 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.

Tailoring With a Seam Out of Place
Everything about this jacket behaves, until the eye reaches the waist and finds the front cut through and set back together. Mihara Yasuhiro's interruption is small and deliberate, enough to turn a sober suit jacket into a piece of quiet construction.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer tailoring with a twist

A Switch Front Tailored Jacket from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference B17JK111: a two-button single-breasted jacket in taupe beige wool blend, its front cut across at the waist and joined again in a second panel. Tagged 40.
The Piece
At first sight it is a quiet suit jacket: notch lapels, a chest welt pocket, two buttons and four buttons at each cuff. Look at the front below the waist and the idea appears. The body is divided by a horizontal seam that runs into the hip pockets, so the lower front reads as a separate piece set into the tailoring, the switch that gives the jacket its name. A small white house tag is stitched near the front hem.
Inside, a brown cupro lining with a fine diagonal sheen runs through body and sleeves, with the Maison label at the neck. The cut is relaxed through the chest, with a long line and natural shoulder. Made in Japan.
