Inspired by the iconic works of Fred Williams, this handwoven raw silk jacket brings to life the untamed beauty of Australia’s Red Landscape. Williams’ art is celebrated for its abstract yet deeply evocative interpretations of the vast, iron-rich terrain, where layers of deep reds, ochres, and sunburnt earth tell the story of an ancient, enduring land.
This weave is a masterpiece in its own right, meticulously crafted to capture the depth, texture, and movement of the rugged outback. The interplay of earthy red silks with golden and rust undertones mimics the way light dances over desert sands, rocky escarpments, and windswept plains.
A MASTERPIECE OF TEXTURE & COLOUR

Deep, Layered Earth Tones – Reds, ochres, rust, and sandstone hues mirror the outback’s striking colour palette.

HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with charcoal or deep brown trousers, a burnt-orange or crisp ivory shirt, and dark leather boots for a polished yet powerful look.

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!
