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.
A Tribute to the Spirit of Australia's Rural Warriors.
The Wheat Houndstooth Raw Silk Jacket celebrates the classic houndstooth pattern, which originated from the woven wool cloth of the Scottish Lowlands. Known for its broken checks and abstract, four-pointed shapes, the houndstooth pattern evokes timeless elegance and sophistication. With this piece, we pay homage to Australia's hardworking farmers, who wear this pattern with pride as a symbol of their strength and resilience in the heart of the land.
Inspired by the golden fields of wheat that stretch across the rural landscapes of Australia, the jacket’s silk blend of black, navy, tan, and white captures the earthy hues of the land, seamlessly integrating them into the iconic houndstooth design. This striking piece embodies both the richness of Australia’s agricultural heritage and the refined taste of the modern gentleman.
THE ART OF THE WEAVE
Handwoven Raw Silk – Soft and breathable, the raw silk fabric adds depth and dimension to the classic houndstooth pattern.
Black, Navy, Tan & White Silk – A harmonious blend of colors that reflects the golden hues of wheat fields, with contrasting elements of navy and black for added depth and sophistication.
Ninja Star Houndstooth Pattern – The distinctive houndstooth weave resembles abstract, four-pointed shapes, creating a dynamic pattern that commands attention while remaining grounded in classic design.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with charcoal wool trousers, a white dress shirt, and black leather boots for a sharp, polished look that blends classic styling with rural spirit.
Dress It Down – For a more laid-back yet refined style, team with dark denim, a navy tee, and suede loafers for effortless elegance.

A TRIBUTE TO AUSTRALIA’S RURAL LEGACY
More than just a jacket, the Wheat Houndstooth Raw Silk Jacket is a statement of strength, resilience, and sophistication. It is a tribute to the farmers who toil under the Australian sun, embodying their spirit while elevating their everyday attire to a level of refinement and elegance.

That Foxy shirt
The Foxflower shirt from Joe Banana is a vibrant, eye-catching piece that added a burst of colour to my wardrobe. The bright yellow base is beautifully complemented by a playful floral pattern, making it both lively and stylish. The fabric feels comfortable, and the design has a fun, fresh appeal. It’s a fantastic choice for anyone looking to add a touch of flair to their collection.
High quality fabric and construction. I get lots of compliments on this shirt. Fits on the large side; I'm usually a medium, but the small fits me well.
Belle Peinture in French, Beautiful Painting in English.
Have you’ve ever been to Giverny and explored Monet’s home, gardens and the luscious surroundings of Normandy? This shirt’s luxuriously soft cotton & print is the epitome of all things Monet, like shouting out “I love Monet” from those acute pitched rooftops which invokes all your senses by wearing a Monet painting.
This is just another statement piece from Joe Bananas, you’d be bananas not to put it on your back!
Love this shirt. I wish I’d purchased more, but it was our final day before heading back to the UK, and I didn’t want to get something that wasn’t right. But in reality, I should have purchased a selection of colours. I can happily say this is currently my go-to shirt. Great quality and fit.
This shirt will wear soft and get ever more comfortable as it ages.
Absolutely delighted with it, and pleased to be wearing a garment made and assembled entirely in Oz.
The title says it all, it’s a classy custom made jacket which fits me extremely well. The caramel colour is very nice I couldn’t really ask for better,
I had no intention of buying chinos when I entered the Joe Bananas store. I was looking at shirts. I bought a shirt and then cast my eyes around other things in the store.
I spotted these chinos, they matched the shirt perfectly so I bought them. Like other chinos from JB they fit perfectly. The colour is not quite what I would have thought that I liked before I bought them. I now think it is a great colour.
The best thing about wearing these chinos is that a random pass by commented “great daks mate” Nothing more needs to be said about how great they are.
I spotted this shirt on the rack. It jumped out at me. I took it off the rack. Almost immediately I bought it in my correct size. I love it as it is quintessentially Joe Bananas.
The greatest praise I can give is that when wearing it Random people have said “great shirt mate” Nothing more needs to be said.
For a plain shirt, this well-designed shirt is deceptively elegant. The interesting colour (which the photo does not really convey) makes it versatile for matching with many different trousers or shorts.
