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.

have only just purchased my first shirt and its first class quality and goes well with my jackets and chinos
every time that i go past Joe Bananas i have to walk out with something new
Great shirts, amazing colour range, generously large collar size, has become a go to in my wardrobe to dress up or down in the warmer weather. Not the lowest price option, but the fit makes it superior than others for me.
Drawn into the store by the loud fabric jackets on display, I’ve come away with a “gateway” beige jacket… It was a little more than I might have spent previously, but the fabric is great, it drapes and moves so beautifully. Tailoring was required, and was spot on first time. Paired with a couple of brighter coloured shirts I was able to see its potential and am happy with the purchase. Sales support was very positive, with styling help and options in my size all made available to try on. Well worth a drop in, even just to marvel at the bright jackets and shirts.
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.
