Known to Sydney’s original inhabitants, the Eora as ‘Mat-te-wan-ye’, the island which is now known as Fort Denison was originally a prominent sandstone monolith standing approximately 49 feet (15m) directly out of the middle of Sydney Harbour, close to Sydney Cove. Both its prominence and proximity to the first European settlement in Australia, in the nearby cove were the cause and justification for its transformation. Soon after settlement the giant rock was quickly broken up into sandstone bricks and hurled back into the harbour to construct the port, Circular Quay, a stone’s throw from The Rocks, where Joe Bananas Australian Flagship is situated.
As a prison and later as a military fortification, Fort Denison was ironically rebuilt of sandstone which came from the Harbour’s North Shore but the vision of its forgotten history is the inspiration for this weave. As it once rose from the Harbour, the sandy peaks of this herringbone weave rise and fall, weaving a timeless classic piece of our collection.
DRESS IT UP: White linen trousers, white linen shirt, white sneakers and don’t forget your sunhat.
DRESS IT DOWN: An earthy or tonal printed shirt and a pair of our finest Newport Yacht Club silk twill trousers will set you sailing in this jacket.
FUN FACT: Completed in 1857, the defensive fortification of Fort Denison is the only Martello Tower ever constructed in Australia and the last ever undertaken within the former British Empire.

Let customers speak for us
This jacket is spectacular. On the first night out 4 compliments at the restaurant. The pattern is very detailed and intricate making it amazing as you get up close. The color also goes with anything. Highly recommended.
Evan and his staff did a fantastic job hooking me up with the perfect t-shirts for my trip to Miami!
Love it. Fits perfectly unlike other online orders I’ve made.
You can finally find high-quality clothing with a lot of style in Newport Beach especially Joe bananas

This, by far, is the best suit I have owned. I travelled from the US to Spain and France and had to pack in my suitcase - a quick shake and it looked as good as new. This is now my favorite suit and plan on a couple more! On a side note, Evan actually delivered my suit to me at the airport in California - Nat, my salesperson one of the top professionals I have dealt with. Just going to their store is an adventure and I plan on going back just to visit.
As always, Joe comes through with a great shirt and a wonderful color. And it feels good on your body!
I love the people I met and their knowledge of the product how apassionate they are about the product. I bought a beautiful unique shirt. Service was great.
As always, Joe B delivers on distinct and interesting items!
