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.
For centuries, Greenstone (Pounamu) has been revered by Māori culture as a symbol of strength, protection, and prestige. Found in the rivers and valleys of New Zealand’s South Island, this deep green gemstone is more than just a treasure—it is a connection to land, ancestry, and tradition.
The Kiwi Jade Raw Silk Jacket captures this timeless reverence, weaving rich, earthy greens and deep mossy hues into a luxurious raw silk textile. The intricate weave mimics the stone’s natural veins and subtle marbling, while delicate undertones of earthy brown and soft striations evoke the raw beauty of Pounamu.
This exceptional piece is more than a jacket—it is a wearable work of art, infused with the spirit of New Zealand’s landscapes and cultural heritage.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with charcoal or dark brown dress trousers, a crisp white or deep emerald shirt, and polished black boots for a refined, striking statement.
Dress It Down – Keep it effortless with stone chinos, a soft grey tee, and suede loafers, embracing a natural, earthy elegance.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare and meaningful as the Greenstone it celebrates.
Handwoven raw silk – soft, textured, and rich in depth.
Deep green, moss, and earthy brown hues – capturing the natural beauty of Pounamu.
A fusion of tradition and timeless style – refined, sophisticated, and unmistakably powerful.
Like Greenstone itself, this jacket is a symbol of strength, heritage, and connection to the land. Extremely limited—secure yours before it becomes legend.

Lovely shirt
Great style, feel and colour to this shirt, love wearing it and feel great in it.
Simply love this Jacket, the JB team were amazing, so good that I bought two jackets and can only imagine I will buy a third in due course. The jacket is light and so versatile, it has helped create an amazing capsule wardrobe
The shirt looks to be well made. The fit is loose but not so that it looks baggy. It looks and feels great on. I have received several compliments on the colors.
My new silver Iron Bark jacket looks so cool all dressed up. I have worn it a number of times in first few days on a business trip. It goes so well with both colorful and dark colored shirts that I can dress it up or down with jeans. It fits superbly and enjoyed other people's envious comments along the way. I also wear it with some non-crush linen pants and after travelling in them all day they still look super sharp. Non-Crush linen trou,s are a smart trouser alternative for busy travelers as did not need the iron in 4 days, they still looked great and super nice to wear with the half silk lining on my legs. Well done Joe Bananas
