Formed over millennia of pressure and transformation, shale is a rock of quiet complexity—layered, structured, and rich in natural beauty. The Blue Shale Raw Silk Jacket mirrors this intricate composition, weaving sporadically spaced vertical silk lines into a refined fabric that echoes the parallel striations of sedimentary rock.
Much like shale itself, this jacket is defined by subtle depth—an interplay of texture and tone that evolves with the light and movement of the wearer. Elegant yet bold, structured yet fluid, this piece is for those who appreciate nuanced design and timeless sophistication.
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this is a jacket as rare as the layers of earth that inspired it.
Handwoven raw silk – textured, structured, and endlessly refined. Inspired by the natural layering of shale – woven with precision and depth. Vertical silk detailing – creating a striking yet understated aesthetic.
Like shale shaped by time, the BLUE SHALE jacket is a statement of natural elegance, quiet strength, and distinguished style. Extremely limited—secure yours before it settles into history.

Perfect Fit, Perfect Color
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
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.
