A guide for this piece: about $465, 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.

The commercial you can wear
Godzilla vs Barkley was thirty seconds of film that outlived the season it advertised. NIKE marked it with a jacket built like a letterman award, heavy melton and leather with embroidered patches. Unworn examples with the watch and badge are scarce.
Best for: Collectors of vintage NIKE, basketball history and Godzilla ephemera

The stadium jacket NIKE made to mark its 1992 commercial Godzilla vs Barkley, in heavy black wool melton with sea bass leather trims, kept unworn since new and offered with its novelty watch and badge.
The Piece
In 1992 NIKE put Charles Barkley on a Tokyo street opposite Godzilla for a game of one on one. This jacket was made to commemorate the film.
The back carries the title in stacked orange and red lettering between two round embroidered patches, Godzilla breathing fire above and Barkley bursting through below. The left sleeve bears a Force basketball emblem and the cuff a green swoosh. Collar, pocket welts and the inner pocket are faced in green sea bass leather, over a quilted sage lining. The care label is dated 1992 and credits Toho for the Godzilla name.
