In the heart of the Australian summer, bushfires leave their mark on the land, yet from the ashes, our native flora regenerates, thriving in the wake of destruction. What remains is charcoal—an element of transformation, resilience, and renewal, rich in depth and texture.
The Charcoal Paperbark Raw Silk Jacket takes inspiration from this cycle of rebirth, weaving the deep, natural sheen of charcoal silk into the intricate paperbark weave. The result? A jacket that shifts with the light, exuding a quiet power and undeniable sophistication. This is a modern interpretation of formal elegance, with just enough edge to command attention—the kind of jacket that would complement Bond on an evening out.
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is crafted for those who appreciate bold refinement and effortless confidence.
Handwoven raw silk – structured, luxurious, and full of depth. Paperbark weave with a natural sheen – enhancing light and movement. Refined yet striking – equally at home in formal or high-stakes settings.
Like charcoal left behind after fire, this jacket is a reminder that strength comes from reinvention. Extremely limited—secure yours before it smoulders away.

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.
