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.
Inspired by the rich opal fields of White Cliffs, New South Wales, the White Cliffs Opal Raw Silk Jacket celebrates the unique beauty and history of one of Australia’s most renowned opal mining regions. Located 800km west-southwest of Lightning Ridge, White Cliffs is the birthplace of Australian opal mining, with its opals regarded as some of the most exceptional in the world. Known for their striking pineapple shape, these opals appear to burst from the centre, making them truly one of a kind.
This handwoven jacket captures the unique palette and geometric form of White Cliffs opals. With its stunning blend of rich earthy tones, bright opalescent highlights, and an intricate weave, the jacket embodies the mystique and beauty of these remarkable gems.
THE ART OF THE WEAVE
Handwoven Raw Silk – Luxurious and breathable, the raw silk gives the jacket a rich texture and natural sheen, echoing the shifting opalescent colours that define White Cliffs opals.
Earthy Tones with Opalescent Highlights – The silk threads are woven in rich earthy browns, warm oranges, and golden yellows, reflecting the vibrant hues of White Cliffs opals, with iridescent highlights that capture the bursting brilliance of the gems.
Geometric Form – The pattern evokes the pineapple-shaped form of the opals, creating a striking visual effect that mirrors the rugged beauty of the White Cliffs landscape and its legendary opal fields.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with charcoal wool trousers, a white dress shirt, and brown leather shoes for a refined, polished look that captures the timeless elegance of opal mining heritage.
Dress It Down – For a relaxed, yet sophisticated vibe, team with dark denim, a mustard or cream tee, and suede loafers to elevate your casual style with a touch of opal-inspired brilliance.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Like all Joe Bananas jackets, the White Cliffs Opal Raw Silk Jacket is a rare, exclusive piece. Handwoven over 250-300 days, with only a select few available, it is as unique as the opals that inspired it.
A CELEBRATION OF AUSTRALIA’S OPAL LEGACY
More than just a jacket, the White Cliffs Opal Raw Silk Jacket is a wearable tribute to Australia’s opal heritage. It embodies the rich history, vibrant colour, and unique beauty of the White Cliffs opals, allowing you to carry a piece of this remarkable landscape with you wherever you go.

Joe Banabas White S/S Linen
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.
I'm no longer allowed to enter unsupervised as I can't help myself and buy something.

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.
