A guide for this piece: about $89, 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 collaboration MA-1 with Alpha Industries from Autumn/Winter 2002, printed in mirror-reversed 'NOGODS NOMASTERS' on chest and back and finished with red and white striped cuffs.
The Piece
Autumn/Winter 2002 is the season collectors call Witch's Cell Division, a dark, layered Undercover collection that has become one of the cornerstones of the Takahashi archive. Around it, the Undercoverism line produced a short run of pieces in collaboration with Alpha Industries, built on the American company's standard MA-1 and made in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The jacket is the classic flight bomber in black nylon with the orange reversible lining, sleeve utility pocket and brass zip. Takahashi's slogan is printed in white across the chest and again low on the back, mirror-reversed as if read through glass, with the circled E motif beside it. The most striking change is at the wrists, where the black knit cuffs are swapped for red with white stripes. The Undercoverism 'For Rebels' label sits at the neck, with Alpha and Undercover labels inside.
Tagged size M. Flat measurements: shoulder 46.5 cm, chest 60 cm, length 69 cm, sleeve 60 cm. It wears like a traditional MA-1: boxy, slightly cropped, and roomy enough for a hoodie.
Few Undercover collaborations carry this much of the label's early identity in a single, wearable piece.

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. Wipe the nylon with a damp cloth and dry clean only if needed, keeping the prints away from heat.
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 with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Lay a shirt or jacket you already love beside them and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size guide to tops and jackets turns pit-to-pit figures into US, UK, EU and Japanese sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
