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.
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.

A patchwork of house lore
Every patch here is a piece of the house mythology: the founding year, the craft motto, the speed wing, the keys. Collared rather than ribbed at the neck, it wears more like a club jacket than a school one, which suits a label raised on motorcycle culture.
Best for: NEIGHBORHOOD collectors; black wool varsity wearers in M
Condition notes
Light signs of use with no conspicuous damage noted. Chenille full; rib and snaps in order.

A NEIGHBORHOOD varsity jacket, reference 252SZNH-JKM03S, in black wool with a shirt collar, its front and sleeves crowded with cream chenille patches. Tagged Medium, Regular.
The Piece
The front leads: it carries the most design. A large interlocked NH monogram in cream chenille dominates the right chest; opposite sits a shield reading Neighborhood, Craft With Pride, with a spade and N. Below come a 1994 script plate, a winged foot lettered Speed Hood, a crossed-keys crest with N, H and two green clovers, and a small embroidered Neighborhood signature by the pocket.
The sleeves continue the story: 32 and 04 in tall chenille numerals and a cream NBHD shape on one arm, a pennant and crossed flags lettered Filth on the other. The back answers with NBHD in bordered chenille over an emblem plate lettered UGMT. Snap front, welt pockets, cream striped rib at cuffs and hem.
NEIGHBORHOOD was founded in Tokyo in 1994, the year the front patch commemorates.
