Measure your favourite garments, don't measure your body.
We have created many thousands of custom made pieces for our clients over the past few decades. Our experience has told us that the best way for us to get this right the first time is to take your garment measurements.
The measurements below refer to your jacket. Measure your favourite jacket and compare to find your best size. Alternatively, order custom made and send us your favourite jacket's measurements, we will make you a personalised fitted piece.
For those that are already our clients, we will have your custom sizing stored in our records. Select "Custom Tailored' with confidence and we will take care of the rest.
For those who are new to Joe Bananas, we will custom make the jacket of your choice. Once you purchase we will be in touch with instructions on how to measure yourself so that we can tailor your piece with a personalised fit.
For over 13,000 years, barley has been a staple crop—fueling civilizations, perfecting brews, and finding its way into everything from distilled spirits to health foods (for balance, of course). As one of Australia’s most important grains, barley is a symbol of tradition, craftsmanship, and hard-earned refinement—just like this jacket.
The Barley Houndstooth Raw Silk Jacket is a tribute to heritage and sophistication, woven in salt-of-the-earth tones that bring depth and character to its classic houndstooth pattern. A true gentleman’s staple, this jacket is timeless, versatile, and effortlessly stylish, pairing seamlessly with both modern tailoring and relaxed looks.
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare as a perfectly poured pint at the end of a long day—crafted for those who appreciate tradition with a contemporary edge.
Handwoven raw silk – textured, refined, and built to last. Classic houndstooth weave – a timeless staple with a modern Australian touch. Versatile salt-of-the-earth tones – pairing seamlessly with any wardrobe.
Like barley itself, this jacket is a foundation of style—rich in history, full of character, and best enjoyed in good company. Extremely limited—secure yours before it’s gone.

during a recent trip to visit family i purchased the above two shirts.
having already got one of Joe Bananas linen shirts on a previuos visit, i was keen to aquire more.
i have several other linen shirts, but these are of a far better . the fabric is a much finer weave than the other shirts i have and is softer , which will get better with wear and washing.
these shirts are suitable for casual wear or a semi formal situation.
whilst there are cheaper shirts available, my first JB linen shirt is now 3 years old and showing no signs of wear or the colour fading.
At the end of the day i think that these shirts are value for money.

Dropped into the QUeen Vic store to buy a shirt following my Daughter having bought me a lovely gift. Walked out with a fantastic Mudstone jacket. A real beaut. Thanks Wayne for all the help. Fantastic Jacket. ‘Cheers,’
For the past 6 years I have bought only Joe Bananas polos. They have a flattering shape that doesn’t deteriorate with washing, they are made with high quality material and tailoring, and maintain their quality for years. And the service is terrific, with fast delivery, prompt addressing of any issues, and great advice in-store.
Gorgeous silk fabrics and colours are the hallmark of Joe Bananas’ jackets. Custom tailored, this jacket has an extraordinary level of fit and comfort. I’ve worn the Bottlebrush jacket to a casual event and will soon be wearing it to the opera and then a black tie function. You’ll never feel ordinary in a jacket like this!
Got several of these tailored shorts now. Great choice of colours, very good fit and quality material with some stretch. Got sizes 38 and 36 waist as lost some weight. These shots are very easy to have tailored if size slightly big or slightly small.
Thanks Joe Bananas. The shirt looks great and the quality and style are terrific! I got comments from a few people who thought the shirt was pretty cool!
I shop at Joe Bananas knowing that I’ll be wearing quality that looks good and feels good. To stand out in a crowd, go to JB. I’ve been shopping there since 2017. Greg T Ross, Editor, The Last Post magazine and Radio Show
