MILKY OPAL – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket

A Shimmering Tribute to Australia’s White Opal.

The Milky Opal, found in Coober Pedy, South Australia, is one of nature’s most captivating gems. Unlike its darker opal cousins, its opaque surface hides a dazzling spectrum of colours, only revealing its brilliance when kissed by the light. This handwoven raw silk jacket is a tribute to that mystery—a boundless interplay of colour, depth, and texture.

Crafted in a full-weight weave, the Milky Opal Jacket provides a layer of warmth for cooler conditions while remaining incredibly light and breathable—a signature of Joe Bananas’ raw silk craftsmanship.

HOW TO WEAR IT

Dress It Up – Make a statement with black trousers, a bright blue or teal shirt, and deep tan shoes—elevated elegance with an unexpected edge.
Dress It Down – For a relaxed but striking look, pair it with dark chinos, a bold yellow, coral, or green tee, and casual sneakers.
