A guide for this piece: about $289, 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 hooded down jacket from READYMADE in khaki vintage cotton, lined in signal orange and worked all over with blackletter embroidery and a column of yellow smiley faces down one sleeve. Tag size 2, new, with the maker's tags and carry bag.
The Piece
READYMADE is the Tokyo label that remakes military and workwear into something stranger and more personal, and its down jackets are among its boldest statements. This one begins in a muted olive-khaki cotton, quilted into broad horizontal baffles, and then lets the surface speak. Across the back, red blackletter lettering is stitched in a hollow square beneath a black READYMADE, while the front carries tangled red and black lettering, a purple circular text embroidery near the hem, and the words Dig a Hole hand-drawn in black down one sleeve.
The sleeves carry the humour: three yellow felt smiley faces, drawn with crooked eyes and mouths, run from shoulder to cuff. The hood is lined in bright orange, a hit of colour that returns at the drawcords and toggles, and the heavy zip closes the front. The orange lining is visible in the hood and at the inner label, giving the sober exterior a lively secret.
Please ask for measurements, and we will take them flat before you decide. The tag is marked size 2.
