BLUE BOTTLE – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Oceanic Grace. Striking Presence.
Gliding effortlessly across the Indian and Pacific Oceans, the Blue Bottle (Physalia utriculus) is a marvel of the sea—deceptively delicate yet commanding in presence. Suspended by a gas-filled, sail-like bladder, this marine drifter rides the currents and tides, its trailing tentacle poised for the unexpected. Though its sting is notorious, its mesmerizing hues and fluid movement make it one of nature’s most captivating sights.
The Blue Bottle Raw Silk Jacket harnesses this oceanic brilliance, woven in rich marine blue silk, delicately interwoven with contrasting white and blue-metal silk in a modern herringbone weave. The result? A fabric that flows like the sea, its pattern rippling like the tides that carry its namesake.
This jacket is designed to be as effortless as it is striking—a statement piece that moves with you, catching light and attention in equal measure.
HOW TO WEAR IT
- Dress It Up – Pair with a crisp white or deep navy shirt and tailored trousers for a refined, ocean-inspired aesthetic.
- Dress It Down – Layer it over light denim and a relaxed linen tee, embracing a laid-back yet polished coastal elegance.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this jacket is as rare and dynamic as the sea creature that inspired it.
- Handwoven raw silk – fluid, lightweight, and rich in depth.
- Marine blue with white and blue-metal contrast – echoing the shimmering tones of ocean currents.
- Timeless versatility – a refined yet powerful statement for any occasion.
Like the Blue Bottle floating across an endless horizon, this jacket is effortless, undeniable, and unforgettable. Extremely limited—secure yours before it vanishes with the tide.

Washing Care
Let customers speak for us
They fit just right. They have a nice look and cut which helps it go with different shirts.
I don't like shopping for clothes online. When shopping at a store for clothing I normally try to minimize my time in the store. Since I am an XY, I like to have a clear idea of what I want before entering a store. After viewing the window display at Joe Bananas my wife (XX) insisted that I try on some clothing in attempt to improve my personal selection of antiquated and worn clothing. With low expectations I tried Joe Bananas. However, my shopping experience was excellent. I know I sound like I'm XX! But, the conversation with the staff was engaging and entertaining. I left the store with excellent clothing that was comfortable and garnered rave reviews from my friends both XX and XY.
I have JB chinos from a few years ago and the fabric feels richer, more texture, more weight.
Love this suit - my second one from JoeBanana's over the past few months. I have received several compliments and have only worn once. What is amazing is the ease of care - I travel often and the suits and jackets look amazing after being in my luggage. Also, Nat in the Newport Beach store is amazing - I will stop by just to say hi. These guys are great.
