A guide for this piece: about $168, 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 sentence written for the stars
Where most letterman jackets carry a name, this one carries a thought, set so tightly it becomes texture. The zip and snaps together are pure Chitose Abe: two jackets resolved into one. It is a cinema piece and a sacai design statement at once.
Best for: sacai collectors; film and design-led varsity wardrobes
Condition notes
Light signs of use; no notable damage recorded. White cowhide and back lettering appear clean in the photographs.

A sacai varsity blouson from Autumn/Winter 2023, model 23-03130M, made for the house's Interstellar collection: navy wool body, white cowhide sleeves, and a full sentence from the film set across the back in raised white capitals. Tagged size 3.
The Piece
The back is a page of text. WE USED TO LOOK UP IN THE SKY AND WONDER AT OUR PLACE IN THE STARS runs in eight tightly stacked lines, the words pressed together without spaces so the block reads first as pattern and only then as language. White on deep navy, it fills the panel from yoke to hem rib.
The front is pure sacai engineering. A heavy metal zip with a sacai pull runs the centre, while silver snaps line both sides, so the jacket reads as a classic letterman and closes like a blouson. A white-outlined chenille S sits at the left chest, the collar is a deep navy rib with white stripes, and the striped rib returns at cuffs and hem. The sleeves are smooth white cowhide; the snaps are stamped with the house name.
Chitose Abe built sacai on the idea of splicing two garments into one, and this blouson is a clear example: a varsity jacket and a zip jacket sharing one body.
