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.
BOULDER OPAL HERRINGBONE – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Unearthed Treasure. Unrivaled Elegance.
Found only in Western Queensland, Boulder Opal is one of Australia’s rarest and most breathtaking gemstones—its vivid blues and greens shimmering against the deep ironstone beneath. Much like its namesake, the Boulder Opal Herringbone Raw Silk Jacket is a masterpiece of contrast, movement, and light, woven in a classic Joe Bananas Wide Band Herringbone weave with a lateral colour line that reflects the gemstone’s natural brilliance.
Crafted from luxuriously handwoven raw silk, this jacket showcases cool opal-inspired tones, shifting with the light just as the play-of-colour in opal mesmerizes the eye. Versatile across seasons and occasions, this piece blends effortless sophistication with the unexpected charm found in every handcrafted Joe Bananas textile.
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this jacket is as rare as the opal itself—crafted for those who appreciate beauty in the details.
Handwoven raw silk – rich, opulent, and full of depth. Wide Band Herringbone weave with lateral colour line – inspired by opal’s natural brilliance. Vivid blues & greens with subtle contrasts – a dynamic yet timeless palette.
Like Boulder Opal beneath the Australian soil, this jacket is a hidden gem, waiting to be uncovered. Extremely limited—secure yours before it vanishes.

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.
