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.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
As with all Joe Bananas jackets, the Wheat Houndstooth Raw Silk Jacket is a rare and exclusive piece. Handwoven over 250-300 days, with only a select few available, it is as distinctive and unique as the hardworking farmers who inspired it.
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.
Wear the spirit of the land. Wear the legacy of Australia’s rural warriors.

A lovely jacket I found on a trip
The vibrant colors and handwoven texture are amazing! Lightweight and comfortable to wear.
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.
