A guide for this piece: about $143, 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.

A Tokyo crest in black and cream
This is the letterman jacket read through a Tokyo lens: the panther, the gothic arch and the record adapter are motorcycle club symbols, not school ones. Held to two colours, black and cream, the patchwork stays disciplined rather than loud. A quietly complete statement of the house style.
Best for: Collectors of NEIGHBORHOOD outerwear; monochrome varsity wardrobes
Condition notes
Some signs of use, nothing that affects wear; light marks may be present. Natural creasing to the cowhide sleeves.

A NEIGHBORHOOD varsity jacket from the 23AW season, reference 232SZNH-JKM03: black wool body, black cowhide sleeves, and a back given over to the house name in arched chenille around a snarling panther head. Tagged L.
The Piece
The back reads like a club crest. NEIGHBOR arcs across the shoulders in cream bordered gothic letters, HOOD answers below, and between them sits a black panther head in looped chenille, its fangs and eye picked out in white and grey thread.
The front carries a full set of patches. An interlocked NH monogram sits on the left chest above the embroidered lines Neighborhood, Craft With Pride, Est. 1994, Tokyo, and a prowling panther crosses the lower right panel with a small woven house tag. One sleeve stacks the letters NBHD vertically; the other carries a record adapter disc, a dagger and a numeral 13. Cream striped rib closes the collar, cuffs and hem, the welt pockets are edged in leather, and the snap front is in black.
NEIGHBORHOOD was founded in Tokyo in 1994 and built its name on motorcycle and military references cut with Japanese precision; this jacket turns that vocabulary to the American letterman form.
