The Huon Pine is more than just a tree—it’s a piece of living history. Found only in the wild, misty rainforests of Tasmania, some of these slow-growing giants have stood for over 2,000 years. Prized for its golden hue, fine grain, and remarkable longevity, Huon Pine has been used to craft everything from classic wooden boats to exquisite furniture. Now, that same legacy is woven into fabric.
The Huon Pine Raw Silk Jacket channels the beauty of this Australian treasure, blending warm golden-hued and white silk in an intricate stringybark weave. The result? A refined yet effortlessly individual statement piece—rich in character, steeped in craftsmanship, and made for those who appreciate timeless style.
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare and enduring as the tree that inspired it.
Handwoven raw silk – textured, breathable, and naturally luxurious. Golden & white silk blend – a warm, classic palette that stands the test of time. Stringybark weave – adding depth and richness to an already distinctive fabric.
Like the legendary Huon Pine, this jacket is built to last—a true icon of Australian heritage and craftsmanship. Extremely limited—secure yours before it becomes a legend of the past.

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
