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.
NAVY CHARCOAL PAPERBARK – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Refined. Versatile. Smouldering with Style.
Charcoal is a material of many faces—a staple of art, medicine, fire, and transformation. Formed through a slow-burning process, it holds depth, resilience, and an understated power. The Navy Charcoal Paperbark Raw Silk Jacket takes these qualities and elevates them into wearable sophistication.
Handwoven in a lustrous navy and charcoal silk blend, this jacket offers a subtle sheen that shifts between light and shadow, adding an extra dimension of depth and intrigue. Whether commanding attention at a formal gathering or adding an edge to casual styling, this piece is as adaptable as it is bold—a statement of quiet confidence.
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is crafted for those who walk the line between classic refinement and undeniable presence.
Handwoven raw silk – sleek, structured, and endlessly refined. Navy & charcoal silk blend with a subtle sheen – balancing light and shadow. Versatile and bold – the perfect statement, whether formal or relaxed.
Like charcoal forged in heat, this jacket is made for those who thrive under pressure, burn with quiet intensity, and leave an impression long after they’ve left the room. Extremely limited—ignite your style before it disappears into smoke.

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
