A guide for this piece: about $92, 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 Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme double-breasted suit in soft brown wool, the jacket front interrupted by yellow plaid diamonds that dance down from the lapel.
The Piece
Yohji Yamamoto launched his menswear line in 1984, and the first years of Pour Homme, recognisable by the rounded script on the label, are now the most sought after. The cut is already unmistakable: generous, dropped shoulders, a long easy jacket and full trousers that move like workwear rather than tailoring.
The jacket is double-breasted in a fine brown wool, lined in cupro, with flap pockets and corozo-style buttons. Set into the front are three diamond inlays of yellow tartan in graduated sizes, a playful break in an otherwise sober suit. The matching trousers have two pleats and a wide straight leg. The label reads Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme, made in Japan, 100% wool, size S.
