A guide for this piece: about $72, 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 eagle against the tiger is the founding drama of the souvenir jacket, sky against earth, and here it plays out on emerald green with Fuji as witness. Turn the jacket and the tiger wins the reverse outright on rose pink. A big, confident XL in one of the brighter TT15790 colourways.

A Tailor Toyo reversible souvenir jacket, reference TT15790: emerald green acetate with an eagle swooping on a tiger before Mount Fuji, turning to rose pink with a great tiger beneath Japan in script. Ivory sleeves; tagged XL.
The Piece
The green face carries the classic battle scene. A gold and cream eagle drops from the upper right with its talons open, a striped tiger turns to meet it from a bed of bamboo and rock, and a small snow-capped Fuji stands on the horizon between them. Fuji and paired beasts repeat in miniature on the chest, and the ivory raglan sleeves carry a green band edged with twisted white cord.
Reversed, the rose pink face is given to the tiger alone. It crouches in gold and black stripes with jaws open beneath Japan in white script, while two snarling tiger heads mark the chest. Black and gold striped rib closes the collar, cuffs and hem on both faces.
Tailor Toyo is the souvenir jacket label of Toyo Enterprise in Tokyo, which supplied embroidered jackets to American servicemen in the 1950s, and the eagle against the tiger is among the oldest images in its repertoire.
