NEWNES SHALE – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket

Rich in History. Rugged in Style. Timeless in Appeal.

Nestled deep in the Wolgan Valley, NSW, Newnes was once a thriving oil shale mining hub in the early 20th century. A town that saw its population rise and fall almost overnight, its rugged beauty and industrial history remain etched into the landscape. Today, it’s a place of untamed wilderness, hidden trails, and forgotten relics, inspiring an equally striking and enduring jacket.

BUILT FOR THE MODERN EXPLORER

The Newnes Shale Raw Silk Jacket pays tribute to the textured, layered terrain of the valley, using an intricate earth-toned weave that mimics the rich hues of weathered shale and stone. This is a jacket that doesn’t just tell a story—it wears one.

HOW TO WEAR IT

  • Dress It Up – Pair with deep charcoal trousers, a black linen shirt, and dark leather boots for a look that’s as sharp as it is sophisticated.
  • Dress It Down – Throw it over denim jeans, a stone-hued tee, and suede sneakers for a relaxed yet undeniably commanding presence.

LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION

Meticulously crafted over 200-300 days, this raw silk weave is as rare as the landscapes it’s inspired by.

  • Signature Joe Bananas handwoven raw silkbreathable, luxurious, and undeniably bold.
  • Deep earth-toned silk in a textured weave – capturing the essence of Newnes' rich history.
  • A statement piece – built for those who live boldly and wear their legacy well.

Wear the spirit of adventure. Wear Newnes Shale.
