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.

Lone Star After Dark
The map sukajan once charted bases and ports; this one charts the neon of a Texas night, card table, dice and all. A plain black front keeps it quiet until the wearer turns. Made in Japan in a deep cotton velveteen, it is a witty, well-made reading of the form.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese Americana and modern map sukajan

A MINEDENIM sukajan in black cotton velveteen, made in Japan, reference 2310-9001-99-022: across the back, the outline of Texas beneath marquee-lit gold letters, filled with the names of roadside clubs, a showgirl, dice, billiard balls and a fanned hand of spades. Tagged 2.
The Piece
The back borrows the map jacket's oldest idea and moves it to the American South. The word Texas is stitched in gold capitals studded with white bulbs like a theatre sign; below, a gold and white outline of the state holds a run of neon-script names, Jaguars Club, Pandoras Men's Club, Silver City Cabaret, The Yellow Rose and Tiffany's Cabaret among them, with a pair of dice, two billiard balls, a royal flush in spades and a showgirl at her pole.
The front is left entirely plain, so the jacket reads as a sober black blouson until it turns. The pile is a fine cotton velveteen, the lining a cotton and rayon cloth, and striped rib in black and cream closes the collar, cuffs and hem around a zip front.
MINEDENIM is a Japanese label known for denim and Americana made in Japan; this piece applies that sensibility to the souvenir jacket, a form that has always mapped the places its wearers passed through.
