This weave is inspired by one of my most favourite Aussie artists, Fred Williams and his series of works known as the 'Red Landscape'. This weave encapsulates the raw allure and vibrant hues of the Australian outback. Its colour palette mirrors the deep reds, ochres, and earthy tones characteristic of Williams' renowned Red Landscapes, evoking the essence of the rugged and iron-rich landscapes.
Crafted from textured silk, the jacket recreates the layered and tactile surfaces found in nature, providing a sensory journey reminiscent of the outback's natural beauty. Seamlessly blending artistic inspiration with impeccable craftsmanship, this jacket offers an interpretation of Williams' honest and sophisticated landscapes, making it a wearable tribute to Australia's expansive and ancient terrain.
Like Fred himself, this one is legendary!

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
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.
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.
