A guide for this piece: about $114, 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.

An early Undercover boiler suit from Spring/Summer 1999, the season known as Relief, its washed khaki grey cotton pressed with raised lettering across the back.
The Piece
Before the Paris shows, Jun Takahashi's late 1990s collections were made for a small Tokyo audience and in small numbers, which is why pieces from them now appear so rarely. Spring/Summer 1999 is known as Relief, after the raised, embossed treatment applied to the cloth.
The label reads 99-SS with the Undercover Jun Takahashi mark. It is a short-sleeved one-piece work suit in a faded khaki grey cotton, with a camp collar, zip front, chest and hip pockets and an elasticated back waist. The relief process leaves lettering and graphics standing slightly proud of the cloth, most clearly across the upper back, so the decoration is felt as much as seen.
Tagged size M with a generous, straight cut. Worn open at the collar with sneakers, it reads as workwear with a quiet archive signature.

Authenticity & Care
The labels, materials, stitching, hardware and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch; anything that cannot be confirmed is stated plainly in the description. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee. Cold hand wash or gentle cycle inside out; dry in shade to preserve the raised finish.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Japan and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand, in centimetres, and Japanese labels often run a size smaller than Western ones. Compare with a piece you already own and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size conversion guide sets Japanese sizes beside US, UK, EU and Asian ones, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
