Measure your favourite garments, don't measure your body.
We have created many thousands of custom made pieces for our clients over the past few decades. Our experience has told us that the best way for us to get this right the first time is to take your garment measurements.
The measurements below refer to your jacket. Measure your favourite jacket and compare to find your best size. Alternatively, order custom made and send us your favourite jacket's measurements, we will make you a personalised fitted piece.
For those that are already our clients, we will have your custom sizing stored in our records. Select "Custom Tailored' with confidence and we will take care of the rest.
For those who are new to Joe Bananas, we will custom make the jacket of your choice. Once you purchase we will be in touch with instructions on how to measure yourself so that we can tailor your piece with a personalised fit.
COOBER PEDY OPAL – Handwoven Full-Weight Raw Silk Jacket
Deep Earth. Luminous Fire. Pure Elegance.
Nestled in the heart of South Australia, Coober Pedy is world-renowned as the Opal Capital of the World, where miners unearth some of the most dazzling, densely coloured opals ever discovered. Known for their hypnotic flashes of yellows, greens, and purples, these gemstones appear to hold captured light within them, shifting and shimmering with movement.
The Coober Pedy Opal Raw Silk Jacket is a full-weight masterpiece, inspired by the mesmerising beauty of these extraordinary stones. Woven in a lateral herringbone weave, this jacket subtly echoes the natural layers of opal deposits, allowing its rich blend of luminous hues to shift and catch the light. Offering a contemporary evolution of our signature Black Opal design, this piece is both bold and timeless, rare and unforgettable.
A true collector’s piece, this jacket is for those who appreciate the artistry of nature, the craft of handwoven silk, and the luxury of a garment that tells a story with every thread.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with deep navy or charcoal trousers and a crisp white shirt for an elegant, polished look.
Dress It Down – Let the opalescent hues shine with earth-toned chinos and a soft black or deep green tee, embracing effortless style.

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.
