Huon Pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii) is a species of conifer native to the wet southwestern corner of Tasmania, Australia. It is a slow-growing, but long-lived tree; some living specimens of this tree are in excess of 2000 years old.
The wood is highly prized for its golden yellow colour, fine grain, and natural oils that resist rotting.
Historically, the wood has been used in the building of classic wooden boats, but is now also used to craft feature furniture and homewares.
With this wooden beauty as inspiration, the ‘Huon Pine’ Raw Silk jacket uses a warm golden-hued and white silk in a stringybark weave to pay homage to this Australian treasure. A classically assured and individual look for the discerning and classic individual.

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
Love the shirt which is more ivory than white. Quality of the linen and buttons is fabulous as is the workmanship. The size L is a throwback to the days when Joe Bananas size L was equivalent to everyone else's XL, but this will apparently be changing as new stock arrives.
I very much like the vibrant colours, unique patterns and quality garments that Joe Bananas have on offer. Just can’t resist buying something that catches my eye.
The idiom “ look and feel a million dollars” comes to mind.
