The Echidna—one of Australia’s most curious and ancient creatures—is a true evolutionary marvel, dating back between 20 and 50 million years. A monotreme, it is one of the very few egg-laying mammals on the planet. Armed with sharp spines for protection and an insatiable appetite for ants, this enigmatic creature moves through the Australian landscape with quiet determination.
Much like its namesake, the Echidna Raw Silk Jacket is a study in understated elegance. Featuring a fantastic abstract herringbone weave, this jacket mirrors the intricate textures of the echidna’s spines, with black and grey silk interwoven with white to create a striking contrast and subtle visual movement.
This jacket is for those who appreciate individuality, quiet strength, and timeless style—a statement of refined confidence, as unique as the echidna itself.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with charcoal, black, or deep navy trousers and a crisp white or slate-grey shirt for a look of modern sophistication.

More Than Just The Look
working with Joe Bananas is more than just the look of the clothes. It is an exploration of your style, persona and energy. The process of getting to know you and your personality is just as important to them as the cut and tailoring. A process that seems to be unrivaled in this day and age. I encourage you to spend some time in the store or on the phone so your purchases are expression of you and not just a visual selection online.
As usual this is a stylish and ultra comfortable jacket that stands up for itself and looks great even after a good wearing. I strongly recommend this blazer.
This is my fifth pair of the linen & silk trousers. The fit is perfect, and I have received a significant number of compliments on the styling and fit. I love the color, as it is lighter than the typical navy blue trousers that many men wear. I prefer something that is different from the ordinary, and yet is quite eye catching.
The jacket is quite comfortable, and the fit is perfect. While Mulberry is not a color that I will wear every day, it actually is quite versatile, and I anticipate getting a good deal of wear out of it. Most importantly, my wife is in love with the color, and that goes a long ways towards making me happy with the jacket.
It looked so good on. He altered it perfectly! It’ll be our go to piece. And just a stand out wherever you go. It looks like the money! One of a kind. Can’t wait to get back to the store and add to our outstanding wardrobe! All pieces were amazing, and can’t be found anywhere else. Thank you Joe. Well done.
Quite a good T-shirt. What I like most of all is the collar stays high and tight and is not get droopy. A good example of the fine work done by Joe bananas
