A guide for this piece: about $44, 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 Takahiro Miyashita-era Number (N)ine ranch coat in black wool, with a cream boa collar, four flapped pockets and a warm grey fleece lining, made in Japan by Kooks.
The Piece
Number (N)ine under Takahiro Miyashita, from 1996 to 2009, produced some of the most collected Japanese menswear of its time, mixing grunge, Americana and rock and roll with exacting Japanese manufacture. Its outerwear was made in Japan by the company Kooks, named on the care label here, and this coat is attributed in the Japanese archive trade to the Portland period, a nod to the Pacific Northwest grunge scene that shaped the label's mood.
It is a hip-length ranch coat in a dense wool and nylon cloth with a cream boa collar and lapels, a concealed button front and four large flapped pockets in the manner of a field coat, plus a small zip pocket on the chest. Buttoned sleeve tabs with dark faceted buttons finish the cuffs. Inside, the body is lined with a soft grey fleece, with herringbone sleeve linings for easy layering.
Size 4 is a men's large. Measured flat it gives a 45 cm shoulder, a 53.5 cm chest and an 80 cm length, with an 86 cm sleeve measured from the centre back, so there is room for a heavy knit beneath.
It is a genuinely warm winter coat with a rugged, Western character, and it looks best with worn-in denim and boots.

Authenticity & Care
The labels, materials, stitching, hardware and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch; anything that cannot be confirmed is stated plainly in the description. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee. Dry clean only; brush the wool and fluff the boa gently with a soft brush.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Japan and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Lay a shirt or jacket you already love beside them and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale.
