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 rich opal fields of White Cliffs, New South Wales, the White Cliffs Opal Raw Silk Jacket celebrates the unique beauty and history of one of Australia’s most renowned opal mining regions. Located 800km west-southwest of Lightning Ridge, White Cliffs is the birthplace of Australian opal mining, with its opals regarded as some of the most exceptional in the world. Known for their striking pineapple shape, these opals appear to burst from the centre, making them truly one of a kind.
This handwoven jacket captures the unique palette and geometric form of White Cliffs opals. With its stunning blend of rich earthy tones, bright opalescent highlights, and an intricate weave, the jacket embodies the mystique and beauty of these remarkable gems.
THE ART OF THE WEAVE
Handwoven Raw Silk – Luxurious and breathable, the raw silk gives the jacket a rich texture and natural sheen, echoing the shifting opalescent colours that define White Cliffs opals.
Earthy Tones with Opalescent Highlights – The silk threads are woven in rich earthy browns, warm oranges, and golden yellows, reflecting the vibrant hues of White Cliffs opals, with iridescent highlights that capture the bursting brilliance of the gems.
Geometric Form – The pattern evokes the pineapple-shaped form of the opals, creating a striking visual effect that mirrors the rugged beauty of the White Cliffs landscape and its legendary opal fields.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with charcoal wool trousers, a white dress shirt, and brown leather shoes for a refined, polished look that captures the timeless elegance of opal mining heritage.
Dress It Down – For a relaxed, yet sophisticated vibe, team with dark denim, a mustard or cream tee, and suede loafers to elevate your casual style with a touch of opal-inspired brilliance.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Like all Joe Bananas jackets, the White Cliffs Opal Raw Silk Jacket is a rare, exclusive piece. Handwoven over 250-300 days, with only a select few available, it is as unique as the opals that inspired it.
A CELEBRATION OF AUSTRALIA’S OPAL LEGACY
More than just a jacket, the White Cliffs Opal Raw Silk Jacket is a wearable tribute to Australia’s opal heritage. It embodies the rich history, vibrant colour, and unique beauty of the White Cliffs opals, allowing you to carry a piece of this remarkable landscape with you wherever you go.

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.
