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 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.
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.
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
