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.
For centuries, Greenstone (Pounamu) has been revered by Māori culture as a symbol of strength, protection, and prestige. Found in the rivers and valleys of New Zealand’s South Island, this deep green gemstone is more than just a treasure—it is a connection to land, ancestry, and tradition.
The Kiwi Jade Raw Silk Jacket captures this timeless reverence, weaving rich, earthy greens and deep mossy hues into a luxurious raw silk textile. The intricate weave mimics the stone’s natural veins and subtle marbling, while delicate undertones of earthy brown and soft striations evoke the raw beauty of Pounamu.
This exceptional piece is more than a jacket—it is a wearable work of art, infused with the spirit of New Zealand’s landscapes and cultural heritage.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with charcoal or dark brown dress trousers, a crisp white or deep emerald shirt, and polished black boots for a refined, striking statement.
Dress It Down – Keep it effortless with stone chinos, a soft grey tee, and suede loafers, embracing a natural, earthy elegance.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare and meaningful as the Greenstone it celebrates.
Handwoven raw silk – soft, textured, and rich in depth.
Deep green, moss, and earthy brown hues – capturing the natural beauty of Pounamu.

I bought two pairs of these shorts and am keen to wear them on a beach day. They're also light and comfortable (no netting!) as everyday shorts for hot weather. I also find their fit, style, and quality of material to be a grade above typical board shorts.
I've worn this shirt around Sydney and on holiday overseas, and have already received many compliments! People love the pattern and style, but the shirt is also incredibly comfortable. The silk material is light and breathable in hot weather.
New experience wearing fully lined trousers. Really comfortable to wear. I was concerned they might be too hot but they seem just right for Spring/Autumn. The look of linen, the feel of silk pyjamas and they looked great after sitting for hours on an plane.
I needed some new shorts and just had to buy these as they are without doubt the best shorts I have ever tried - fit and quality. I bought several colours a couple of weeks ago in the Sydney shops. I'm now back in London and am looking at ordering more of the colours while they still have my size.
The Foxflower shirt from Joe Banana is a vibrant, eye-catching piece that added a burst of colour to my wardrobe. The bright yellow base is beautifully complemented by a playful floral pattern, making it both lively and stylish. The fabric feels comfortable, and the design has a fun, fresh appeal. It’s a fantastic choice for anyone looking to add a touch of flair to their collection.
High quality fabric and construction. I get lots of compliments on this shirt. Fits on the large side; I'm usually a medium, but the small fits me well.
Belle Peinture in French, Beautiful Painting in English.
Have you’ve ever been to Giverny and explored Monet’s home, gardens and the luscious surroundings of Normandy? This shirt’s luxuriously soft cotton & print is the epitome of all things Monet, like shouting out “I love Monet” from those acute pitched rooftops which invokes all your senses by wearing a Monet painting.
This is just another statement piece from Joe Bananas, you’d be bananas not to put it on your back!
