CHARCOAL PAPERBARK – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Forged in Fire. Refined in Silk.
In the heart of the Australian summer, bushfires leave their mark on the land, yet from the ashes, our native flora regenerates, thriving in the wake of destruction. What remains is charcoal—an element of transformation, resilience, and renewal, rich in depth and texture.
The Charcoal Paperbark Raw Silk Jacket takes inspiration from this cycle of rebirth, weaving the deep, natural sheen of charcoal silk into the intricate paperbark weave. The result? A jacket that shifts with the light, exuding a quiet power and undeniable sophistication. This is a modern interpretation of formal elegance, with just enough edge to command attention—the kind of jacket that would complement Bond on an evening out.
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is crafted for those who appreciate bold refinement and effortless confidence.
Handwoven raw silk – structured, luxurious, and full of depth.
Paperbark weave with a natural sheen – enhancing light and movement.
Refined yet striking – equally at home in formal or high-stakes settings.
Like charcoal left behind after fire, this jacket is a reminder that strength comes from reinvention. Extremely limited—secure yours before it smoulders away.

Let customers speak for us
from 551 reviewsI 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

Great shirt , well made and comfortable
Amazing pattern. Beautifully finished. A complete delight.
Great customer service at the store on George Street in The Rocks, Sydney. The jacket itself, just wow! Sensational look and fit. My first Joe Bananas purchase. Very happy. Will shop there again. Highly recommend Joe Bananas.
lovely shirt that fits perfectly, great colour.get lots of compliments on shirt.
Great match with the Paperbark jacket.
Great fit, great look. Premiered it at a birthday party on the weekend. Several admiring comments received.
After kicking around other brands purporting to be the ‘be all and end all’ I went back to Joe’s trying the newest edition of their classic chinos and was once again blown away by the extremely comfortable fit around my butt and thighs. Soft material with some give the level of comfort exceeding anything tried previously. I just had to buy two pair.
Try them one day soon, you won’t be disappointed.

This jacket feels like a feather on your body. I don’t know how else to describe it. Thanks to the QVB team (Claudia, Rory) for walking me through this first (of 3) purchases, custom fitted exactly as visioned.
