INSPIRATION
Joe Banana's handwoven raw silk jacket pays a striking homage to the iconic Australian artist Fred Williams and his renowned painting 'Forest Pond' from 1974. This wearable masterpiece captures the essence of Williams' masterpiece, translating his vision of the Australian landscape onto fabric with remarkable precision. The raw silk fabric, expertly handwoven, mirrors the intricate brushwork and texture found in Williams' painting, making it a tactile and visual delight.
The colour palette of the jacket draws directly from 'Forest Pond,' with its lush greens, earthy browns, and vibrant blues. The intricate weaving technique replicates the dappled light and intricate foliage that Williams captured so masterfully in his work. Wearing this handwoven raw silk jacket is akin to stepping into the very heart of Williams' forested landscape, carrying with you the spirit of his artistry and the beauty of the Australian wilderness. It's a wearable tribute to one of Australia's most celebrated artists, bridging the gap between fine art and fashion, and allowing individuals to carry a piece of Fred Williams' vision with them wherever they go.

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!
Beautiful fabric. Perfectly tailored. Love it!
