CRYSTAL OPAL – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Light Trapped in Stone. Colour Set in Motion.
Deep within Australia’s ancient earth lies the opal — a gemstone born of water, time, and light. The Crystal Opal is its most elusive form: translucent yet brilliant, shifting hue with every glance. From turquoise to violet, from ember to gold — it’s nature’s own kaleidoscope.
The CRYSTAL OPAL Raw Silk Jacket channels this spectral energy through an intricate, multi-dimensional weave. Threads of teal, indigo, violet, ruby, and amber intertwine across a dark base, capturing the gemstone’s living fire. The result is a fabric that seems to shimmer from within — alive with depth, movement, and light.
Handwoven over many months, each piece reveals a unique constellation of colour and texture. No two jackets are ever alike — each one a wearable gemstone, rare and radiant.
-
Handwoven raw silk – richly textured, naturally lustrous.
-
Vivid interplay of teal, violet, ruby, and gold – echoing the prismed light of a crystal opal.
-
Dynamic and versatile – equally striking with denim or tailored trousers.
-
Limited edition – only a appox 10 woven worldwide.
Much like the gemstone itself, the CRYSTAL OPAL JACKET is alive with light, colour, and character — a piece that reveals something new every time it’s worn. Rare. Daring. Undeniably Australian.

Thanks, guys

Love my pink polo. Wife does too. Washes nicely and quick to dry
Just in time for summer, this beautiful short-sleeve shirt has me excited for the warm weather. I'll wear it with khakis or other monotone shorts to let it stand out.
I noticed this coat at your store when we were visiting Sydney. I went back three additional times before I decided to go inside and try it on. As soon as I put it on the fit was perfect and it required no alterations. It arrived today since I had to ship it home. The coat is just striking and looks great! I am so happy I purchased and plan to add an additional coat to my collection. The quaintly of workmanship is second to none.
You wouldn’t normally expect a short sleeved shirt to be this smart. Except of course this is an exceptionally tailored and exclusively patterned Joe Bananas shirt. Looks great, feels great.
Honestly, I can’t stress enough how amazing the fabric and feeling of the trousers are. The soft/orangic touch of the pants is outstanding! Glad was able to pull off an amazing outfit for dates, etc
This is my second Forest Green shirt from Joe Bananas and I love wearing it with my Silk jacket and several pairs of chinos all from Joe. Best men’s fashion store in Sydney
Love the shirt, looks great and feels good
It is perfect !
I bought the Shirt because it figured well in a couple of criteria. Firstly I went to a funeral of a close mate a brother of mine. He was killed in the surf around Huntington beach California USA, surfing with his son. Doing something he loved so dearly with someone he loves so deeply. His father asked that we wear a “ Yellow Hawaiian Shirt “ because his son was all “ Light n’ Life “ the opposite of what a funeral is. Turns out the shirt in my size as well is quite a difficult thing, as the back is usually made for skinny office types, the sleeves as well & the neck well for get about it! All the boxes ticked STREWTH! On the morning of the Monday’s a week ago as I put the Shirt a button came off ( language warning )! I raced off to J & T Laundry in Cronulla, I was in luck they sowed it on for me. Should have seen the smile on my laughing gear. I did my mate proud wearing that Shirt at Pip “ Lippa” Denison’s funeral in Wollongong that day.
A couple of visits and two excellent conversations with Will Sturrock later, I have the jacket I'd wanted each time I passed the shop on the Rocks for over a decade, plus two more, four shirts, and a belt. Brilliant.
Very happy with my new shirt. Well made and looks great. Im 183 cm tall, 86kg and went with XL. Maybe could have gone with Large, sleeves a bit long but wanted something loose fiting for our tropical holiday.
As always, all my shirts from Joe Bananas makes an impact and this one was no different, by looking unique and making me feel special. I have received quite a few compliments, especially when matched with a Joe Bananas beautifully coloured and crafted silk jacket! Excellent quality and comfort too! 🙏
The look, the feel, and the fit are all outstanding. In addition, the versatility of the jacket makes it ideal for work and fun. And of course there is the excellent customer service provided by the Joe Banans’ staff.
Awesome material
