PAPERBARK HENLEY – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Tradition Meets Natural Elegance
Steeped in history, Henley-on-Thames plays host to one of the most prestigious regattas in the world—a spectacle of precision, power, and tradition. The Henley Royal Regatta is not just about rowing; it’s about timeless style, a celebration of heritage and elegance.
Taking inspiration from the iconic vertical stripes worn by rowers at this event, the Paperbark Henley Raw Silk Jacket is a true Joe Bananas masterpiece—a seamless blend of classic tailoring and natural beauty.
THE WEAVE
Handwoven in natural paperbark tones—soft creams, warm browns, and subtle greys—this silk jacket embodies the layered texture of Australia’s iconic paperbark tree. The Henley-style stripes create a striking balance of tradition and organic artistry, with the depth and movement of the weave reflecting the interplay of light and shadow seen in nature.
HOW TO WEAR IT
- Dress It Up – Keep it classic with white trousers, a crisp navy linen shirt, and brown leather loafers—a refined, modern take on traditional Henley style.
- Dress It Down – Pair with tan chinos and a relaxed off-white linen shirt for a laid-back yet effortlessly polished ensemble.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Crafted over 250-300 days, each Paperbark Henley Jacket is an exclusive statement piece, merging timeless sophistication with earthy, natural charm.
- 100% Handwoven Raw Silk – Lightweight, breathable, and luxurious.
- Henley-inspired stripe design – A tribute to classic regatta blazers with a distinctive, nature-driven twist.
- Versatile elegance – Equally at home on the riverbanks of Oxfordshire or the sun-drenched shores of Sydney.
FUN FACT
The Henley Royal Regatta has been held annually since 1839 and remains one of the most prestigious rowing events in the world—a spectacle of both athletic prowess and refined British tradition.
Classic. Distinctive. Unmistakably Joe Bananas.

from 525 reviewsThis my third paperbark jacket, the previous ones being blue and black. This galah version is made from heavier material than my previous two, hence ideal for cooler days. It compliments pretty much any shirt or pants. And it is distinctive. You won’t find others wearing this jacket when attending events, conferences or festivities. Mmm, now that I think of it, maybe don’t buy it so mine remains a rarity ;-)
OMG! Joe bananas black T-shirt never fails to impress. The fit and wearability is superb and a testament to Jo’s original design and understanding of older male body. I live in these T-shirts for both informal and formal occasions and would be lost without them.
Great fitting shirts and designs.
We love Joe Bananas. Products are fabulous with great cut and gorgeous fabrics. Customer Service is outstanding. We live in New Zealand but will return on our next visit to Sydney.. Thank You !
My wife and I arrived too town early to see a movie so we went window shopping. Joe Bananas presented material with textures and colours I've never seen before. It was explained the different natural features of the Australian landscape, fauna and flora inspired many of the material designs. Jackets, trousers, jumpers and more.
I am usually a plain dresser as my children remind me and initially seeing different colours and textures on me in the mirror at Joe Bananas didn't look quite right. I loved what was on the hangers however not sure if I could do the garments justice. I now love my green chinos and my summer trouser, yes I bought two.
The purchase inspired me to clean out my wardrobe. I tossed out anything I hadn't worn for 10 years, you can't rush things or go get silly.
I have made a few more little purchases including now a sports jacket, I'm loving my new cloths.
I think it is related to my purchases, I have joined the gym after years of not doing anything. I want to look good in my new Joe Bananas gear.
Look good, feel good. Stephen.
The moment I spotted this shirt in the window of Joe Bananas in Sydney's historic The Rocks district, I knew it was coming home with me.
The quality is superb, the design is unlike anything else, and since wearing it back here in Ireland I've had no end of compliments.
Then came the bonus. I discovered the design is called Raoul Duke, the famous alter ego of Hunter S. Thompson. As a long-time admirer of his writing, that little detail made an already great purchase even better.
Love it
I bought this jacket for my brother for his 50th. Thank you to the awesome staff at QVB (Claudia, Rory) who helped me plan his visit across emails & in-person advice. The “fashion show” day as I describe it was very rewarding as we walked with this purchase followed by a coffee celebration.
Loving my new jacket. I’m just a little disappointed that the promised T-shirts (1x black 1x white) were not included in the delivery.
Outstanding service, I was in desperate need of a black jacket and shirt, I spoke to Francis she couldn’t help me enough she said not to worry about it and that they will be straight on to it. As I live in Melbourne and I shop in the tSydney a bit so they had my measurements on file. She called around and found me one and called me and organised the thing shipping and said I would have in two day's low and be hold there it was days later I received it .Perfect fit both jacket and shirt and fantastic quality. And that’s why I shop at Joe Bananas. Thank you so much.
Everything about this t shirt is first class. The material, the sizing, the fit, the stitching and the colour. I am extremely happy and satisfied with my purchase.
I must have passed the Chapel Street store countless times before finally entering and when I did I was very glad I had. The garments on display where vibrant, colourful and a balanced mix of elegance and casual. It is apparent that a lot of creativity is involved in the design and manufacturing. It is not often I enter a men’s fashion shop and want everything in it but that is exactly what I felt at Joe Bananas. I could not be happier with the items that i purchased.
Love the cut and feel of pants and the willingness to make any alterations that I thought would improve the fit for me. A great product all round.
Great service
When I walked into the QVB store in Sydney I wasn't sure what I was looking for and chatting with Claudia really helped and I found a pair of trousers and a couple of T-shirts that I really liked and the trousers are comfortable and exactly what I need for my work. Thank you for the help with this one
