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.
COOBER PEDY OPAL – Handwoven Full-Weight Raw Silk Jacket
Deep Earth. Luminous Fire. Pure Elegance.
Nestled in the heart of South Australia, Coober Pedy is world-renowned as the Opal Capital of the World, where miners unearth some of the most dazzling, densely coloured opals ever discovered. Known for their hypnotic flashes of yellows, greens, and purples, these gemstones appear to hold captured light within them, shifting and shimmering with movement.
The Coober Pedy Opal Raw Silk Jacket is a full-weight masterpiece, inspired by the mesmerising beauty of these extraordinary stones. Woven in a lateral herringbone weave, this jacket subtly echoes the natural layers of opal deposits, allowing its rich blend of luminous hues to shift and catch the light. Offering a contemporary evolution of our signature Black Opal design, this piece is both bold and timeless, rare and unforgettable.
A true collector’s piece, this jacket is for those who appreciate the artistry of nature, the craft of handwoven silk, and the luxury of a garment that tells a story with every thread.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with deep navy or charcoal trousers and a crisp white shirt for an elegant, polished look.
Dress It Down – Let the opalescent hues shine with earth-toned chinos and a soft black or deep green tee, embracing effortless style.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare and exquisite as the gemstone it pays tribute to.
Handwoven full-weight raw silk – rich in texture, depth, and movement.
Lateral herringbone weave – mirroring the layered brilliance of Coober Pedy’s opals.
A luxurious balance of boldness and refinement – designed for those who wear their style like a work of art.
Like Coober Pedy’s legendary opals, this jacket is a luminous treasure—impossible to ignore, timeless in its appeal, and destined for those who appreciate the extraordinary. Extremely limited—secure yours before it disappears into legend.

Joe Banabas White S/S Linen
Revieved for a present. Concerned that it may be a little bland but the excellent fit, stylish cut and quality of the linen make this a standout. Perfect summer shirt with shorts.
Got this for a gift. Initially thought the colour may be a little much but the cut, the quality of the fabric and the muted tone (yes muted) make this a star with a wide variety of pants and jackets. Very very happy to add this to the wardrobe. Another winner from Joe.
You can rely on Joe Bananas for top quality stuff and for service with a smile. I bought my first jacket over 20 years ago from Joe himself and I have been coming back ever since. The linen shirts have always been a winner (I have several) but I had never had a white one until just recently. Top products - well designed, well made and sold by top people.
Added the linen and silk trousers to my wardrobe and they don’t disappoint. Fully lined, beautifully tailored, and as comfortable as anything. Love them!
JB's isn't a run in the mill Menswear business; bold and unique.
Thank you Will for exceptional customer focused service that accompanies the incredible range of quality menswear! So very happy with my Huon Pine jacket purchase.
I'm no longer allowed to enter unsupervised as I can't help myself and buy something.

For the past dozen or so years every time I visit Sydney I’ve bought a couple or three shirts. The designs and colours are amazing as is the quality of material and workmanship.
