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.
A fusion of tradition and timeless style – refined, sophisticated, and unmistakably powerful.
Like Greenstone itself, this jacket is a symbol of strength, heritage, and connection to the land. Extremely limited—secure yours before it becomes legend.

Typical of Joe Bananas fun to wear
For the past dozen or so years every time I visit Sydney I’ve bought a couple or three shirts. The designs and colours are amazing as is the quality of material and workmanship.
I love Joe Bananas.

during a recent trip to visit family i purchased the above two shirts.
having already got one of Joe Bananas linen shirts on a previuos visit, i was keen to aquire more.
i have several other linen shirts, but these are of a far better . the fabric is a much finer weave than the other shirts i have and is softer , which will get better with wear and washing.
these shirts are suitable for casual wear or a semi formal situation.
whilst there are cheaper shirts available, my first JB linen shirt is now 3 years old and showing no signs of wear or the colour fading.
At the end of the day i think that these shirts are value for money.
