A guide for this piece: about $143, 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.

Two American legends share one garment: the sailor's memento mori of skull, web and destroyer number on black, and Marilyn Monroe in a sailor's cap on ivory. It is the souvenir jacket's original subject, the serviceman's tour in the Pacific, retold by a Japanese house that studies that era closely. The anniversary labels and licensed portrait make it a collector's TOYS McCOY rather than a passing reissue.
Best for: Collectors of TOYS McCOY and US Navy themed sukajan; pin-up art enthusiasts
Condition notes
General wear throughout. Mark at the left pocket edge, soiling at the collar, soiling around the Marilyn Monroe image on the ivory face and light spotting on the ivory front.

A reversible TOYS McCOY sukajan from the 25th Anniversary run: black rayon embroidered with skulls and a spider web on one face, ivory quilting with a full-colour Marilyn Monroe pin-up on the other. Tagged L.
The Piece
Across the black back, a large skull on crossed bones rests beneath a spider web and a gold spider, above the words U.S. Navy in gold script. Two chest skulls are captioned DD-796 and U.S.S. Benham, an American destroyer. Twisted cream cord runs down each raglan seam.
Turn it for an ivory diamond-quilted body with vivid blue sleeves, Marilyn Monroe in a sailor's cap before a ship's wheel across the back, and a dragon coiled around a roped anchor on each side of the chest.
TOYS McCOY is a Japanese maker known for its close study of mid-century American military clothing; the labels carry the 25th Anniversary mark, a serial number and a licence line from the Estate of Marilyn Monroe.
