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.
BLUE-BELLIED BLACK SNAKE – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Deadly in Style. Lethal in Presence.
Australia is home to 72 of the world’s deadliest animals—an impressive, if slightly unnerving, claim to fame. Among them is the red-bellied black snake, a creature best admired from a distance. But its lesser-known cousin, the Blue-Bellied Black Snake, is an entirely different beast.
Unlike its namesake, the Blue-Bellied Black Snake Raw Silk Jacket is not designed to be avoided—it’s designed to be noticed. Woven in a wide-banded, ribbon herringbone weave, this piece is as mesmerizing as a rattlesnake’s movement, with aqua blue silk interwoven with deep black to mimic the sleek, shifting scales of a predator in motion.
Designed for understated stealth and deadly appeal, this jacket doesn’t scream for attention—it demands it in silence.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with a jet-black or deep navy shirt and tailored trousers for a dangerously sharp look.
Dress It Down – Let the jacket do the talking over a simple charcoal tee and dark denim.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this jacket is as rare and commanding as the snake that inspired it.
Handwoven raw silk – sleek, textured, and undeniably striking.
Aqua and black ribbon herringbone weave – evoking the hypnotic elegance of reptilian scales.
A balance of stealth and boldness – a true statement piece that needs no introduction.
Like the snake that moves without sound but holds undeniable power, this jacket is silent in approach, yet impossible to ignore. Extremely limited—secure yours before it disappears into the wild.

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.

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.
