A guide for this piece: about $385, 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.

A reversible souvenir jacket from WACKO MARIA’s Wolf’s Head series, its black satin back alive with a parachuting monster, handcuffs and a yellow-winged bat. Size XL, made in Japan and released in November 2020, worn only a few times.
The Piece
WACKO MARIA is the Tokyo house that treats rock-and-roll, Hollywood nightlife and Japanese tattoo imagery as one continuous mood, and its sukajan are among the most sought after in the city. This model, reference WOLFSHEAD-WM-BL05, is cut shorter and neater than the oversized jackets that followed it, in a lustrous blend of 70% cotton and 30% rayon.
The back is the reason to own it. Beneath a green parachute lettered Guilty Parties hangs a flame-edged creature with a blue flower for a face and a skull above its head, flanked by pale handcuffs, snakes and a pair of yellow bat wings, all in dense embroidery in black, salmon pink and white. Turn the jacket and the other face is a plain, smooth satin in black, orange, beige and white with orange welt pockets and yellow rib, a calm companion to the noise on the reverse.
The rib is pure virgin wool in salmon pink, finished with a dotted two-colour stitch, the zip is a small vintage-style reversible YKK, and polyester wadding gives it warmth. Measured flat: body width 64 cm (25.2 in) and length 68 cm (26.8 in). Every measurement is taken by hand with the piece laid flat, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in).
