In the heart of the Australian summer, bushfires leave their mark on the land, yet from the ashes, our native flora regenerates, thriving in the wake of destruction. What remains is charcoal—an element of transformation, resilience, and renewal, rich in depth and texture.
The Charcoal Paperbark Raw Silk Jacket takes inspiration from this cycle of rebirth, weaving the deep, natural sheen of charcoal silk into the intricate paperbark weave. The result? A jacket that shifts with the light, exuding a quiet power and undeniable sophistication. This is a modern interpretation of formal elegance, with just enough edge to command attention—the kind of jacket that would complement Bond on an evening out.
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is crafted for those who appreciate bold refinement and effortless confidence.
Handwoven raw silk – structured, luxurious, and full of depth. Paperbark weave with a natural sheen – enhancing light and movement. Refined yet striking – equally at home in formal or high-stakes settings.
Like charcoal left behind after fire, this jacket is a reminder that strength comes from reinvention. Extremely limited—secure yours before it smoulders away.

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.

Dropped into the QUeen Vic store to buy a shirt following my Daughter having bought me a lovely gift. Walked out with a fantastic Mudstone jacket. A real beaut. Thanks Wayne for all the help. Fantastic Jacket. ‘Cheers,’
For the past 6 years I have bought only Joe Bananas polos. They have a flattering shape that doesn’t deteriorate with washing, they are made with high quality material and tailoring, and maintain their quality for years. And the service is terrific, with fast delivery, prompt addressing of any issues, and great advice in-store.
Gorgeous silk fabrics and colours are the hallmark of Joe Bananas’ jackets. Custom tailored, this jacket has an extraordinary level of fit and comfort. I’ve worn the Bottlebrush jacket to a casual event and will soon be wearing it to the opera and then a black tie function. You’ll never feel ordinary in a jacket like this!
Got several of these tailored shorts now. Great choice of colours, very good fit and quality material with some stretch. Got sizes 38 and 36 waist as lost some weight. These shots are very easy to have tailored if size slightly big or slightly small.
Thanks Joe Bananas. The shirt looks great and the quality and style are terrific! I got comments from a few people who thought the shirt was pretty cool!
I shop at Joe Bananas knowing that I’ll be wearing quality that looks good and feels good. To stand out in a crowd, go to JB. I’ve been shopping there since 2017. Greg T Ross, Editor, The Last Post magazine and Radio Show
