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.
COOBER PEDY OPAL – Handwoven Full-Weight Raw Silk Jacket
Deep Earth. Luminous Fire. Pure Elegance.
Nestled in the heart of South Australia, Coober Pedy is world-renowned as the Opal Capital of the World, where miners unearth some of the most dazzling, densely coloured opals ever discovered. Known for their hypnotic flashes of yellows, greens, and purples, these gemstones appear to hold captured light within them, shifting and shimmering with movement.
The Coober Pedy Opal Raw Silk Jacket is a full-weight masterpiece, inspired by the mesmerising beauty of these extraordinary stones. Woven in a lateral herringbone weave, this jacket subtly echoes the natural layers of opal deposits, allowing its rich blend of luminous hues to shift and catch the light. Offering a contemporary evolution of our signature Black Opal design, this piece is both bold and timeless, rare and unforgettable.
A true collector’s piece, this jacket is for those who appreciate the artistry of nature, the craft of handwoven silk, and the luxury of a garment that tells a story with every thread.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with deep navy or charcoal trousers and a crisp white shirt for an elegant, polished look.
Dress It Down – Let the opalescent hues shine with earth-toned chinos and a soft black or deep green tee, embracing effortless style.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare and exquisite as the gemstone it pays tribute to.
Handwoven full-weight raw silk – rich in texture, depth, and movement.
Lateral herringbone weave – mirroring the layered brilliance of Coober Pedy’s opals.
A luxurious balance of boldness and refinement – designed for those who wear their style like a work of art.
Like Coober Pedy’s legendary opals, this jacket is a luminous treasure—impossible to ignore, timeless in its appeal, and destined for those who appreciate the extraordinary. Extremely limited—secure yours before it disappears into legend.

Linen & Silk Trousers are wonderful
Added the linen and silk trousers to my wardrobe and they don’t disappoint. Fully lined, beautifully tailored, and as comfortable as anything. Love them!

Typical of Joe Bananas fun to wear
For the past dozen or so years every time I visit Sydney I’ve bought a couple or three shirts. The designs and colours are amazing as is the quality of material and workmanship.
I love Joe Bananas.

during a recent trip to visit family i purchased the above two shirts.
having already got one of Joe Bananas linen shirts on a previuos visit, i was keen to aquire more.
i have several other linen shirts, but these are of a far better . the fabric is a much finer weave than the other shirts i have and is softer , which will get better with wear and washing.
these shirts are suitable for casual wear or a semi formal situation.
whilst there are cheaper shirts available, my first JB linen shirt is now 3 years old and showing no signs of wear or the colour fading.
At the end of the day i think that these shirts are value for money.
