CRYSTAL OPAL – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket Light Trapped in Stone. Colour Set in Motion.
Deep within Australia’s ancient earth lies the opal — a gemstone born of water, time, and light. The Crystal Opal is its most elusive form: translucent yet brilliant, shifting hue with every glance. From turquoise to violet, from ember to gold — it’s nature’s own kaleidoscope.
The CRYSTAL OPAL Raw Silk Jacket channels this spectral energy through an intricate, multi-dimensional weave. Threads of teal, indigo, violet, ruby, and amber intertwine across a dark base, capturing the gemstone’s living fire. The result is a fabric that seems to shimmer from within — alive with depth, movement, and light.
Handwoven over many months, each piece reveals a unique constellation of colour and texture. No two jackets are ever alike — each one a wearable gemstone, rare and radiant.
Handwoven raw silk – richly textured, naturally lustrous.
Vivid interplay of teal, violet, ruby, and gold – echoing the prismed light of a crystal opal.
Dynamic and versatile – equally striking with denim or tailored trousers.
Limited edition – only a appox 10 woven worldwide.
Much like the gemstone itself, the CRYSTAL OPAL JACKET is alive with light, colour, and character — a piece that reveals something new every time it’s worn. Rare. Daring. Undeniably Australian.

Linen & Silk Trousers are wonderful
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!

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.
