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 unique and striking Minni Ritchi bark, this jacket celebrates the natural wonder of the Australian landscape. Known for its reddish-brown bark that peels in small curly flakes, revealing the fresh, green bark beneath, the Minni Ritchi Bark Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket beautifully captures this dynamic process of renewal and transformation. Just like the bark itself, this jacket offers layers of complexity, visual texture, and a rich history.
The jacket features an intricate stringybark weave, combining muted magenta and white silk that echo the peeling, layered texture of the Minni Ritchi bark. The softness of the fabric contrasts with the rugged nature of the bark, while the colours bring out the warmth and depth that make the Minni Ritchi so distinctive.
THE ART OF THE WEAVE
Handwoven Raw Silk – Naturally breathable and textured, offering a luxurious tactile experience.
Muted Magenta and White Silk – The delicate combination of colours mirrors the peeling process of Minni Ritchi bark, highlighting its earthy tones while adding a fresh, modern twist.
Stringybark Weave – Emulating the intricate, layered bark, the weave offers subtle dimension and depth, giving the jacket a sophisticated, organic feel.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with charcoal wool trousers, a pale grey or cream shirt, and polished black shoes for an elegant, understated look with a natural twist.
Dress It Down – For a more relaxed style, wear with dark denim jeans, a white or magenta tee, and suede boots for a casual, yet refined look.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Each Minni Ritchi Bark jacket is a limited edition piece, meticulously handwoven over 250-300 days. With only a select number available, it is as unique and rare as the bark that inspired it.

Whether worn for a special occasion or to elevate your everyday style, this jacket makes a bold statement, merging timeless craftsmanship with the spirit of the Australian outback.
Wear nature’s beauty. Wear the Minni Ritchi Bark.

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.
