A guide for this piece: about $62, 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.

Biker iconography meets Yokosuka
A house built on the leather motorcycle jacket brings its own symbols to the souvenir form: the skull, the serpent and the web, signed with its founding year. It reads as a bridge between American motorcycle culture and the Japanese embroidered jacket.

The Schott Rayon Suka Jacket, reference 782-5252004: black rayon satin with a cream rib, the back embroidered with the year 1913, a skull on crossed bones, a coiling snake and a spider web. Tagged XL.
The Piece
Schott, the New York outerwear house founded in 1913 and best known for its leather motorcycle jackets, here turns to the souvenir jacket and gives it a biker's iconography. On the back, a white skull rests on crossed bones while an orange and gold serpent winds around it, a fine white spider web spreads to the right, and 1913 is stitched above in white script, a direct nod to the founding year.
Two smaller skulls sit on the chest either side of the zip, and a woven Schott tab is set at the lower left front. A braided black and white cord runs the length of each sleeve, a detail borrowed from western and stadium wear. The cut is generous, with dropped shoulders and a cream rib at the collar, cuffs and hem; inside, a black polyester lining carries welt pockets and the Schott N.Y.C. woven label.
