A guide for this piece: about $59, 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.

Jun Takahashi's fishtail mods parka from Autumn/Winter 2010, printed GIRA across the chest and with a large circular graphic on the back, complete with coyote-trimmed hood and quilted liner.
The Piece
Avakareta Life, Undercover's Autumn/Winter 2010 collection, introduced GIRA, a fictional brand-within-a-brand that Jun Takahashi stamped on military and outdoor pieces throughout the season. Its parkas, backpacks and field jackets were treated as gear from an imagined expedition, and the GIRA pieces have become well-recognised markers of that era of Undercover.
This is the classic M-51 style fishtail parka, reworked. The olive cotton shell has an uneven, faded dye that gives it a field-worn look, with GIRA printed on the chest, a blank patch on the sleeve, and a technical circular diagram printed across the back. The hood is trimmed in coyote fur, the front closes with a zip and snap placket, and the long fishtail hem has drawcords. A zip-in liner in taupe nylon with polyester padding adds winter warmth and can be removed for spring. Production code F4307, made in Japan.
The cut is roomy, made to go over tailoring or knitwear, and the 115 cm length sits below the knee at the back. It is a coat for real cold that carries a well-documented Undercover story.
