After his promotion from Missile Commander to General, Clayton M Abernathy and his trusted wingman, Chuckles, both needed some time away from base and decided that an off-duty expedition to Medellin might fit the bill for their necessary R&R. Night one, It is 23:07 hrs and they find themselves in a den of entertainment where the air was thick and the beads of sweat rolled freely. The mood was high. Chuckles took the last swig of his still icy cold vessel as his thirst was large, he turned to Abernathy and said quietly, “after another round of yes please, and no matter how hard I try, this thirst is not going away; why don’t we play a little game of charades”. "The only condition”, Chuckles insisted “GI rules”.
The GI rules of charades are as follows; As one is actively interpreting the object to their fellow player, they must do this while navigating the multiple obstacles they face whilst maintaining the straightest of lines throughout the challenge.
The challenge was gracefully accepted by Abernathy as this is a game they often played together, and he did his very best to avoid the obstacles. The portrayed object in his round was the one and only, American symbol of freedom, the Bald Eagle. An easy narrative as his Caw CAW, is one of the best going around and, at his age of 46, he follicley challenged. The night started there, and some say it escalated for the next 6 days. They were lucky to get out of there alive.
Long story short, this is how he achieved the nickname of Hawk, and the rest of the ‘holiday’ remains classified there is little other documented from their trip from 23:09 that evening. Upon their return, he was awarded the rank of General, and this is how General Hawk came to be.
Abernathy was seen wearing just like shirt on his flight homeand it is said it was bought at a flea market during their time in Columbia and it was only fitting to bring this adventure to life.
All Hail, General Hawk.

Washing Care
Let customers speak for us
I was looking to take on a new look and Joe's place provided the perfect venue. I ended up with a jacket that I can dress up (Tux affair) or down (Jeans and T); that's flexibility. It was also an opportunity to entertain colors I'd typically not consider. Looking for fun, different yet functional.........check it out. Rob
The best shorts to date, you want the best, here you go, hi Quality. SURFER since 1974.
I purchased my second silk jacket from the Joe Bananas store in Newport Beach, CA a couple of weeks ago and could not be happier. Their garments are beautifully made, striking in appearance, and comfortable to wear, and they are limited runs making them not likely to be seen on anyone else. The staff is particularly helpful and professional and very good at guiding you to colors and designs that compliment your particular features.
Shopping at this store makes you feel like a million bucks.
I highly recommend stopping in just for the experience.
Great shirts . Amazing jackets .. Best service !!
Fits perfectly. While I will not wear it often, it will look great when I do wear it.
I happened to walk by the Newport Beach store and wandered inside to have a look. I ended up buying a pair of shorts that I LOVE! Being a former international fashion model and being exposed to some of the world’s best designers has given me an eye for quality. My upbringing as a surfer in California has also shaped my style. The shorts are a bright orange and purple tropical plant pattern that will look great this spring and summer. I was impressed with the silk fabrics and patterns in the shirts and coats as well. Being from Sydney, Australia the brand works well with the sophisticated beach vibe of Southern California.
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.
