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.
A Tribute to the Spirit of Australia's Rural Warriors.
The Wheat Houndstooth Raw Silk Jacket celebrates the classic houndstooth pattern, which originated from the woven wool cloth of the Scottish Lowlands. Known for its broken checks and abstract, four-pointed shapes, the houndstooth pattern evokes timeless elegance and sophistication. With this piece, we pay homage to Australia's hardworking farmers, who wear this pattern with pride as a symbol of their strength and resilience in the heart of the land.
Inspired by the golden fields of wheat that stretch across the rural landscapes of Australia, the jacket’s silk blend of black, navy, tan, and white captures the earthy hues of the land, seamlessly integrating them into the iconic houndstooth design. This striking piece embodies both the richness of Australia’s agricultural heritage and the refined taste of the modern gentleman.
THE ART OF THE WEAVE
Handwoven Raw Silk – Soft and breathable, the raw silk fabric adds depth and dimension to the classic houndstooth pattern.
Black, Navy, Tan & White Silk – A harmonious blend of colors that reflects the golden hues of wheat fields, with contrasting elements of navy and black for added depth and sophistication.
Ninja Star Houndstooth Pattern – The distinctive houndstooth weave resembles abstract, four-pointed shapes, creating a dynamic pattern that commands attention while remaining grounded in classic design.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with charcoal wool trousers, a white dress shirt, and black leather boots for a sharp, polished look that blends classic styling with rural spirit.
Dress It Down – For a more laid-back yet refined style, team with dark denim, a navy tee, and suede loafers for effortless elegance.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
As with all Joe Bananas jackets, the Wheat Houndstooth Raw Silk Jacket is a rare and exclusive piece. Handwoven over 250-300 days, with only a select few available, it is as distinctive and unique as the hardworking farmers who inspired it.
A TRIBUTE TO AUSTRALIA’S RURAL LEGACY
More than just a jacket, the Wheat Houndstooth Raw Silk Jacket is a statement of strength, resilience, and sophistication. It is a tribute to the farmers who toil under the Australian sun, embodying their spirit while elevating their everyday attire to a level of refinement and elegance.
Wear the spirit of the land. Wear the legacy of Australia’s rural warriors.

My Fire Whirl Shirt
I Just love it, it is comfortable to wear, the fabric is amazing, I loved how it looked on..what more can I say.. Its beautiful!
Apart from the comfort and how well it fits. I have never had a shirt that I get so many compliments. And with saying that since the original purchase I have gone back and brought a jacket and two more shirts the jacket called his second to none and I have to admit you do feel special when you’re wearing your clothing and I’m definitely gonna be and I’m going customer. And we’re saying that the customer service is second on dealing with Robb the original purchase and mind for the jacket and the next purchases was fantastic. The fact that my third shirt was welcome past the shop was open but Wayne was in there finishing up and open the doors for me to purchase another shirt and a great chat and I was on my way again at that night and he would’ve thought I had a light on from female to male saying how well a shirt looked. Thanks again.
Seriously this is one of the nicest things I own. The fabric is so soft, the colour is vibrant and it just feels nice to wear. Id like it 2cm shorter and 0.5 cm narrower (as a small) but the fit is fine (im 169cm tall and 69kgs and wear size 32' pants). Id love it even more if it were a V neck! Then it would be 5.5*
I bought two pairs of these shorts and am keen to wear them on a beach day. They're also light and comfortable (no netting!) as everyday shorts for hot weather. I also find their fit, style, and quality of material to be a grade above typical board shorts.
I've worn this shirt around Sydney and on holiday overseas, and have already received many compliments! People love the pattern and style, but the shirt is also incredibly comfortable. The silk material is light and breathable in hot weather.
New experience wearing fully lined trousers. Really comfortable to wear. I was concerned they might be too hot but they seem just right for Spring/Autumn. The look of linen, the feel of silk pyjamas and they looked great after sitting for hours on an plane.
I needed some new shorts and just had to buy these as they are without doubt the best shorts I have ever tried - fit and quality. I bought several colours a couple of weeks ago in the Sydney shops. I'm now back in London and am looking at ordering more of the colours while they still have my size.
