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.

Summer, Already Worn In
Mihara Yasuhiro has always liked clothes that look as though they have lived a life before you. These shorts arrive with the sun already in them: black cotton faded to ash, hems left to fray, one darker pocket at the back to remind you what colour they began.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer distressed and washed casualwear
Condition notes
No notable marks or stains beyond the intended finish. Fading, frayed hems and pinholes are part of the original design.

Sweat shorts from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference J16SP724: black cotton loopback washed down to a smoky grey, with frayed hems and scattered pinholes worked in by design. Tagged 48.
The Piece
The finish is the point. The black cotton has been sun-faded and abraded so that the colour drifts from charcoal at the seams to a soft ash across the thighs, the way an old pair would look after years of summers. Both hems are cut raw and left to fray, and small pinholes are spread across the front and back.
An elastic waist with a long black drawcord sits above two side seam pockets. A small embroidered emblem marks the left leg, and a tab label is stitched at the right hip. At the back, a single large patch pocket in a darker, smoother cloth breaks the faded field, a quiet hybrid touch typical of the house.
Inside, the waistband carries the Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO label beside a printed wearing instructions tab.
