The Emerald—a gemstone of legendary status—has been treasured for over 3,500 years, mined from ancient Egyptian quarries to the mountains of India and Austria. Known for its deep verdant hue and mesmerizing clarity, a true emerald must possess both purity of colour and exceptional transparency to be considered among the finest.

Dropped into the QUeen Vic store to buy a shirt following my Daughter having bought me a lovely gift. Walked out with a fantastic Mudstone jacket. A real beaut. Thanks Wayne for all the help. Fantastic Jacket. ‘Cheers,’
For the past 6 years I have bought only Joe Bananas polos. They have a flattering shape that doesn’t deteriorate with washing, they are made with high quality material and tailoring, and maintain their quality for years. And the service is terrific, with fast delivery, prompt addressing of any issues, and great advice in-store.
Gorgeous silk fabrics and colours are the hallmark of Joe Bananas’ jackets. Custom tailored, this jacket has an extraordinary level of fit and comfort. I’ve worn the Bottlebrush jacket to a casual event and will soon be wearing it to the opera and then a black tie function. You’ll never feel ordinary in a jacket like this!
Got several of these tailored shorts now. Great choice of colours, very good fit and quality material with some stretch. Got sizes 38 and 36 waist as lost some weight. These shots are very easy to have tailored if size slightly big or slightly small.
Thanks Joe Bananas. The shirt looks great and the quality and style are terrific! I got comments from a few people who thought the shirt was pretty cool!
I shop at Joe Bananas knowing that I’ll be wearing quality that looks good and feels good. To stand out in a crowd, go to JB. I’ve been shopping there since 2017. Greg T Ross, Editor, The Last Post magazine and Radio Show
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
