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.

Blackletter for the night shift
WACKO MARIA dresses the letterman for a club rather than a campus: blackletter where the school name would be, a curb chain where the hanging loop should be. All black, it relies on stitch and texture, and the embroidered back has real weight.
Best for: WACKO MARIA collectors; black varsity wearers in L
Condition notes
Light signs of wear consistent with use; no conspicuous damage noted. Leather sleeves show natural creasing.

A WACKO MARIA varsity jacket from the BlackEyePatch and Aphrodite Gang collaboration: black wool body, black cowhide sleeves and a back lettered in large embroidered blackletter. Tagged L.
The Piece
The back carries the design and leads. WACKOMARIA arcs across the shoulders in silver-white blackletter, with APHRODITE and GANG stacked beneath in the same hand, all chain-stitched densely onto the black wool. A chenille numeral 4 sits high on the left sleeve.
The front is quieter: WACKO MARIA in blackletter on the left chest, Aphrodite Gang in looping script on the right, a matching chenille 4 on the right sleeve and the house Guilty Parties woven tag at the hem. A curb chain forms the hanging loop inside the collar, and the inner label reads BUDSPOOL, Aphrodite Gang Holdings. Snap front, leather-edged welt pockets, black rib throughout.
WACKO MARIA was founded in Tokyo in 2005 by Atsuhiko Mori and Keiji Ishizuka, and its Guilty Parties tag is its signature.
