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.
Nestled in the central highlands of Tasmania, Cradle Mountain rises majestically above Dove Lake, its rugged peaks glistening in the winter sun as a dusting of ice and snow transforms the landscape into a scene of breathtaking beauty. Named for its resemblance to a gold mining cradle, this mountain is a symbol of enduring natural grandeur.
Inspired by the crisp air and icy caps of this iconic Tasmanian peak, the Cradle Mountain Raw Silk Jacket is woven in a mid-weight herringbone weave, providing a structured, robust layer ideal for cooler climates. While this jacket is far too good to wear on an alpine ascent, it’s perfectly at home by the fire at The Cradle Mountain Lodge, a whisky in hand, warmth radiating from the hearth.
A piece for those who appreciate understated luxury, this jacket effortlessly bridges the gap between rugged elegance and refined comfort.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with stone, oatmeal, or charcoal trousers, a navy shirt, brown belt, and brown boots for a polished winter look.
Dress It Down – Keep it relaxed with navy or pale-blue chinos, or your favourite dad-denim jeans (you know the ones). A blue tee or polo completes the effortless style—nothing too fancy on your feet required.
CURIOUS FACT:
Cradle Mountain is named for its similarity to a gold mining cradle, the traditional device used to sift gold from alluvial soils—a nod to Tasmania’s rich mining history.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare and enduring as the peak it is named after.

Awesome clothes and service
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience of making a choice of what to get - loved the tee but even more so the art jacket!
Met the guys behind Joe Bananas in Sydney over Xmas - the store experience and talking to them about their passion for material and style made purchasing the cap all the more enjoyable
