Inspired by the unique and striking Minni Ritchi bark, this jacket celebrates the natural wonder of the Australian landscape. Known for its reddish-brown bark that peels in small curly flakes, revealing the fresh, green bark beneath, the Minni Ritchi Bark Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket beautifully captures this dynamic process of renewal and transformation. Just like the bark itself, this jacket offers layers of complexity, visual texture, and a rich history.
The jacket features an intricate stringybark weave, combining muted magenta and white silk that echo the peeling, layered texture of the Minni Ritchi bark. The softness of the fabric contrasts with the rugged nature of the bark, while the colours bring out the warmth and depth that make the Minni Ritchi so distinctive.

I have several shirts, T-shirts and jackets. Evan is a master at what he does! This shirt is no exception, it is beautiful beyond description. Great job, Joe Bananas!
I bought my first JB jacket in Melbourne last year while traveling with my wife. Our Aussie friend pointed out the store in Sydney where he had bought a jacket. I dig my linen coat and it now has a sibling in the closet to hang with named Rocky.
I love the pink suede cap! SO FUN and cheerful everyone that sees it SMILES!!
Thank YOU from a new happy patron. We don’t have Joe Bananas in AUSTIN TX YET??!!!
The loudest cricket gets the love. I need clothing as loud as my personality and these do it for me. The print is like a trip from licking a poisonous frog and I’m down for it. It’s called Joe Bananas, not Joe Banana. Go Bananas!
