A guide for this piece: about $72, 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.

Balloon denim trousers from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference J16PT123: dark indigo worked into deep amber fades, an elastic drawcord waist and gathered drawcord hems. Tagged 44.
The Piece
The wash leads. A dark indigo denim has been faded hard at the hips, thighs and knees, where the blue opens into a warm, yellowed honeycomb, while the creases behind the knee stay dark. The effect is of a long-worn pair of work jeans, drawn into a fuller, softer shape.
The front keeps a classic five-pocket face with a single shank button and zip fly, but the back waist is elasticated and threaded with a pale cotton drawcord. The legs run full through the thigh and are gathered at the ankle by elastic channels with their own cords, so the hem can sit close or fall loose. One back pocket is cut in tan cotton twill, the same cloth used for the pocket bags and the waistband facing that carries the woven Maison label.
It is a characteristic Mihara Yasuhiro move: the vocabulary of Americana denim, rearranged with comfort and a little mischief.
