A guide for this piece: about $193, 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 reversible souvenir jacket from Nicole Club for Men, black velvet on one face and cream satin on the other, each side embroidered with its own set of motifs. Size M, from the 1992 autumn-winter season, in condition A.
The Piece
The postwar sukajan, the embroidered souvenir jacket of Japan, is here reworked by Nicole Club in a double-sided form. The velvet face is a deep black, trimmed with a cream rib collar and hem. Across the back an eagle spreads its wings in front of a row of flags above a globe, with banners lettered 1959, while a blue dragon coils through a ribbon down the sleeve and two angels holding hearts sit on the chest.
Reverse it and the mood softens. The cream satin face carries two tiger-head medallions on the chest, a script signature at the hip, and across the back a leaping tiger drawn over a blue ribbon with the word Japan stitched in grey above. Cream rib edged with black and grey stripes closes the collar, cuffs and hem, and a metal zip fastens the jacket.
