After his promotion from Missile Commander to General, Clayton M Abernathy and his trusted wingman, Chuckles, both needed some time away from base and decided that an off-duty expedition to Medellin might fit the bill for their necessary R&R. Night one, It is 23:07 hrs and they find themselves in a den of entertainment where the air was thick and the beads of sweat rolled freely. The mood was high. Chuckles took the last swig of his still icy cold vessel as his thirst was large, he turned to Abernathy and said quietly, “after another round of yes please, and no matter how hard I try, this thirst is not going away; why don’t we play a little game of charades”. "The only condition”, Chuckles insisted “GI rules”.
The GI rules of charades are as follows; As one is actively interpreting the object to their fellow player, they must do this while navigating the multiple obstacles they face whilst maintaining the straightest of lines throughout the challenge.
The challenge was gracefully accepted by Abernathy as this is a game they often played together, and he did his very best to avoid the obstacles. The portrayed object in his round was the one and only, American symbol of freedom, the Bald Eagle. An easy narrative as his Caw CAW, is one of the best going around and, at his age of 46, he follicley challenged. The night started there, and some say it escalated for the next 6 days. They were lucky to get out of there alive.
Long story short, this is how he achieved the nickname of Hawk, and the rest of the ‘holiday’ remains classified there is little other documented from their trip from 23:09 that evening.Upon their return, he was awarded the rank of General, and this is how General Hawk came to be.
Abernathy was seen wearing just like shirt on his flight homeand it is said it was bought at a flea market during their time in Columbia and it was only fitting to bring this adventure to life.

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.

Typical of Joe Bananas fun to wear
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.
I love Joe Bananas.
