A guide for this piece: about $248, 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 vintage leather jacket from the Marc Buchanan line of Pelle Pelle, in purple with teal-green sleeves and yellow piping, the whole back worked in appliqué and embroidery. Size 42, comparable to XL, with a purple satin lining.
The Piece
Pelle Pelle made its name in the 1990s with heavily decorated leather outerwear, and the pieces labelled Marc Buchanan are the ones collectors return to. This jacket is a full statement of that era: the back carries PELLE PELLE in large yellow letters across the shoulders, a green roundel with an MB monogram and the year 1992 beneath it, and a yellow Soda Club script sweeping across the lower back.
The body is purple leather, the sleeves are cut in teal-green leather with purple elbow patches, and every seam is edged in yellow piping. It closes with a concealed front placket and snap at the collar, with slanted welt pockets trimmed in yellow, and a ribbed hem and cuffs in purple with a green stripe. The cut is boxy and generous, made to be worn loose by men and women alike.
Measured flat: length 68 cm (26.8 in), body width 69 cm (27.2 in), shoulder width 73 cm (28.7 in). Every measurement is taken by hand with the piece laid flat, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in).
