AUSTRALIAN HONEY BEE – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Nature’s Architects. Woven in Gold.
Australia is home to over 1,500 species of native bees, each playing a crucial role in pollination and ensuring the survival of the unique plant life that makes Australia’s landscapes so remarkable. Unlike their European counterparts, many Australian Honey Bees are stingless, and while their honey may not be abundant, their impact on our ecosystem is immeasurable.
The Australian Honey Bee Raw Silk Jacket is a tribute to these tireless workers, featuring the Joe Bananas signature weave, where alternating lateral and vertical golden and cream knotted silk bows mimic the natural swarming movement of bees within their hive. The result is a rich, textured weave that radiates warmth and understated opulence—a jacket quite literally clad in luxury.
HOW TO WEAR IT
- Dress It Up – Pair this golden masterpiece with a crisp white or cream shirt and tailored trousers for a look that exudes sophistication.
- Dress It Down – Style it with earthy chinos or dark denim and a relaxed linen shirt to bring effortless refinement to a casual setting.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this jacket is as rare and unique as the native bees that inspired it—crafted for those who appreciate true artistry and natural elegance.
- Handwoven raw silk – intricately textured, luxurious, and full of depth.
- Golden silk knots in alternating directions – mirroring the energy and movement of a thriving hive.
- Timeless and refined – a statement piece that blends nature with exquisite craftsmanship.
Like the Australian Honey Bee, this jacket is a quiet force of nature—purposeful, elegant, and indispensable. Extremely limited—secure yours before it flies away.

Washing Care
Let customers speak for us
They fit just right. They have a nice look and cut which helps it go with different shirts.
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.
I have JB chinos from a few years ago and the fabric feels richer, more texture, more weight.
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.
