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.

The skull, the snake and the web are the oldest marks in the souvenir jacket vocabulary, and here Schott sets them on a fabric you can almost see through. The heavy, raised embroidery floats on the sheer blue like ink on skin. A sukajan for warm evenings rather than winter, in a generous XL.
Best for: Schott collectors; a warm-weather sukajan in XL

A lightweight Schott souvenir jacket in sheer navy blue polyester, reference 782-6152004, named Skull and Snake by the house: a large skull wrapped by a gold snake beneath the date 1913 across the back. Tagged XL.
The Piece
The back carries the design. 1913 is written in white script at the left shoulder, a silver spider web hangs at the right, and between them a large cream skull is encircled by a gold, cream and red snake, its head rising above the crown, with crossed bones below. The raised embroidery stands out sharply on the translucent blue.
The front is quiet: a small skull on each side of the chest and a plain zip. The body is a fine, see-through polyester that gives the jacket a summer weight, with white twisted piping along the raglan seams and olive rib at the collar, cuffs and hem.
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.
