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 Crystal Clear Waters of Queensland's Jewel.
The Whitsunday Waters Raw Silk Jacket draws inspiration from the stunning beauty of the Whitsunday Islands in Queensland, Australia. A tropical haven known for its vibrant marine life and crystal-clear waters, the Whitsundays' serene aquatic blues, pristine beaches, and endless horizons have all been encapsulated in this handwoven masterpiece.
The rich tonal blend of white and aqua silk intertwines with darker strands to mirror the natural beauty of the surrounding waters, shimmering like the sun-kissed surface of the Coral Sea. This exquisite piece embodies the peaceful yet dynamic spirit of the Whitsundays, offering a refined style that evokes the essence of coastal elegance.
THE ART OF THE WEAVE
Handwoven Raw Silk – Expertly crafted, this jacket’s weave highlights the luxury of silk, offering a smooth texture and a subtle sheen, mimicking the glistening surface of the sea.
Serene Color Palette – White and aqua strands woven together with contrasting darker tones reflect the tranquil yet lively waters of the Whitsundays.
Fluid Design – The flowing patterns in the weave replicate the gentle ripples of water, giving the jacket an organic, timeless quality.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with navy trousers, a light blue shirt, and brown leather shoes for an elegant ensemble that speaks of coastal luxury.
Dress It Down – For a laid-back, beach-inspired look, style with white chinos, a casual white tee, and tan loafers.

great quality shirt
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.
