A guide for this piece: about $54, 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.

Blush, bone and serpent
On pale pink rayon the old tattoo trio of skull, snake and web turns unexpectedly tender, the red bands of the serpent the strongest colour on the jacket. Black rib frames it sharply. A souvenir jacket that wears softer than its imagery suggests.
Best for: Schott collectors; a pastel sukajan in size L
Condition notes
Light signs of use with soft creasing. A few faint grey marks low on the left back panel. Embroidery complete.

A Schott souvenir jacket in pale pink rayon, reference 782-5252004, with a skull, a red and gold snake and a silver spider web embroidered across the back beneath the date 1913. Tagged L.
The Piece
The back carries the design. 1913 is written in tonal script at the left shoulder; a cream skull with crossed bones sits at the centre, wrapped by a snake banded in red, cream and gold whose open jaws and forked tongue rise over the skull's crown, and a silver spider web spreads to the right. The thread is dense and raised.
The front repeats the skull twice on the chest in cream thread. Black and white twisted piping runs down every raglan seam, the collar, cuffs and hem are black rib knit, and a woven Schott tab sits above the hem. The lining is black polyester.
Schott was founded in New York in 1913, the year stitched on the back, and the house is best known for the Perfecto motorcycle jacket.
