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.
Nestled in the central highlands of Tasmania, Cradle Mountain rises majestically above Dove Lake, its rugged peaks glistening in the winter sun as a dusting of ice and snow transforms the landscape into a scene of breathtaking beauty. Named for its resemblance to a gold mining cradle, this mountain is a symbol of enduring natural grandeur.
Inspired by the crisp air and icy caps of this iconic Tasmanian peak, the Cradle Mountain Raw Silk Jacket is woven in a mid-weight herringbone weave, providing a structured, robust layer ideal for cooler climates. While this jacket is far too good to wear on an alpine ascent, it’s perfectly at home by the fire at The Cradle Mountain Lodge, a whisky in hand, warmth radiating from the hearth.
A piece for those who appreciate understated luxury, this jacket effortlessly bridges the gap between rugged elegance and refined comfort.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with stone, oatmeal, or charcoal trousers, a navy shirt, brown belt, and brown boots for a polished winter look.
Dress It Down – Keep it relaxed with navy or pale-blue chinos, or your favourite dad-denim jeans (you know the ones). A blue tee or polo completes the effortless style—nothing too fancy on your feet required.
CURIOUS FACT:
Cradle Mountain is named for its similarity to a gold mining cradle, the traditional device used to sift gold from alluvial soils—a nod to Tasmania’s rich mining history.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare and enduring as the peak it is named after.
Handwoven raw silk – a mid-weight herringbone weave for warmth and structure.
Icy blues, earthy greys, and subtle stone tones – reflecting the frost-kissed mountain top.
A timeless alpine-inspired statement – luxurious, versatile, and effortlessly stylish.

My Fire Whirl Shirt
I Just love it, it is comfortable to wear, the fabric is amazing, I loved how it looked on..what more can I say.. Its beautiful!
Apart from the comfort and how well it fits. I have never had a shirt that I get so many compliments. And with saying that since the original purchase I have gone back and brought a jacket and two more shirts the jacket called his second to none and I have to admit you do feel special when you’re wearing your clothing and I’m definitely gonna be and I’m going customer. And we’re saying that the customer service is second on dealing with Robb the original purchase and mind for the jacket and the next purchases was fantastic. The fact that my third shirt was welcome past the shop was open but Wayne was in there finishing up and open the doors for me to purchase another shirt and a great chat and I was on my way again at that night and he would’ve thought I had a light on from female to male saying how well a shirt looked. Thanks again.
Seriously this is one of the nicest things I own. The fabric is so soft, the colour is vibrant and it just feels nice to wear. Id like it 2cm shorter and 0.5 cm narrower (as a small) but the fit is fine (im 169cm tall and 69kgs and wear size 32' pants). Id love it even more if it were a V neck! Then it would be 5.5*
I bought two pairs of these shorts and am keen to wear them on a beach day. They're also light and comfortable (no netting!) as everyday shorts for hot weather. I also find their fit, style, and quality of material to be a grade above typical board shorts.
I've worn this shirt around Sydney and on holiday overseas, and have already received many compliments! People love the pattern and style, but the shirt is also incredibly comfortable. The silk material is light and breathable in hot weather.
New experience wearing fully lined trousers. Really comfortable to wear. I was concerned they might be too hot but they seem just right for Spring/Autumn. The look of linen, the feel of silk pyjamas and they looked great after sitting for hours on an plane.
I needed some new shorts and just had to buy these as they are without doubt the best shorts I have ever tried - fit and quality. I bought several colours a couple of weeks ago in the Sydney shops. I'm now back in London and am looking at ordering more of the colours while they still have my size.
