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 over 13,000 years, barley has been a staple crop—fueling civilizations, perfecting brews, and finding its way into everything from distilled spirits to health foods (for balance, of course). As one of Australia’s most important grains, barley is a symbol of tradition, craftsmanship, and hard-earned refinement—just like this jacket.
The Barley Houndstooth Raw Silk Jacket is a tribute to heritage and sophistication, woven in salt-of-the-earth tones that bring depth and character to its classic houndstooth pattern. A true gentleman’s staple, this jacket is timeless, versatile, and effortlessly stylish, pairing seamlessly with both modern tailoring and relaxed looks.
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare as a perfectly poured pint at the end of a long day—crafted for those who appreciate tradition with a contemporary edge.
Handwoven raw silk – textured, refined, and built to last. Classic houndstooth weave – a timeless staple with a modern Australian touch. Versatile salt-of-the-earth tones – pairing seamlessly with any wardrobe.
Like barley itself, this jacket is a foundation of style—rich in history, full of character, and best enjoyed in good company. Extremely limited—secure yours before it’s gone.

My Wife Hasn't Seen it Yet:)!
I bought this shirt to wear with my JB "Opal" jacket to an event in Hong Kong.
As usual, Wayne in the QVB was super helpful and I'm really looking forward to unveiling this stunner in a few weeks - just wish my gut was as flat as the model's!
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
