TOP END BARRA – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Big. Bold. Unmistakably Australian.
The Top End Barramundi isn’t just any fish—it’s an icon of the Northern Territory, a prized catch for anglers and a staple in the diverse cuisines of Darwin’s melting-pot culture. Known for its sheer size, power, and unmistakable shimmer, the Barra fights with spirit, thrives in both fresh and saltwater, and commands the respect of those who chase it.
Inspired by the iridescent brilliance of this legendary fish, the Top End Barra Raw Silk Jacket captures the ever-shifting hues of its scales—aqua, emerald green, burned umber, and amber—woven together in a rich, textural silk fabric. Just like the Barra in motion, this jacket catches the light from every angle, delivering a look that’s as fluid as it is striking.
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare as a record-breaking catch, crafted for those who appreciate power, presence, and pure individuality.
Handwoven raw silk – bold, dynamic, and naturally textured.
Inspired by the shimmer of Barra scales – shifting tones of aqua, green, amber & umber.
A tribute to Darwin’s game-fishing culture – full of life, color, and movement.
Like the mighty Barra, this jacket is made for those who go big, stand out, and never back down. Extremely limited—reel yours in before it’s gone.
DRESS IT UP: Black trousers with a white or aqua shirt with an open collar.
DRESS IT DOWN: Green or teal chinos topped with a blue or white polo.

Washing Care
Let customers speak for us
This jacket was a bit of a divergence from where my wardrobe currently sits with a lot of blues and greys in my closet today. Purchasing this was a game changer! So much so I brought my dad in to buy a jacket for himself. If you want to stand out, this place is a must shop.
Some of the most beautiful clothing I’ve ever seen in my life! It wears as good as it looks, and I couldn’t be happier. HIGHLY recommend! Thanks for taking the time with me Evan, I appreciate your hospitality. G’day, Mate.

Extremely comfortable, perfectly tailored. I’m 6’3 and the length is perfect. Almost as nice as the other shirt I bought with it!
Fits like a glove, and the patterns is great with a wife variety of pants combination. Love the smooth soft silk. Will buy more.
Best fit and finish available. Bonus of great service.
This cotton shirt is so light and comfortable The fit is perfect for my athlete build I appreciate the staff and Nat is simply amazing with her sense of fashion and style
I had more than 100 business suits. Now retired living in SoCal I have more than 100 Tee Shirts. However after buying my yellow T, I love it so much I bought a pink one, then a white one, and the light blue one is next. My wife recently asked “are you ever going to wear any of your other 100?” I don’t know the answer to that!
These suits are very comfortable and more importantly, l look very good in them
This jacket is a unique piece that will let you stand out from the crowd. Material is excellent. Building quality and fit are both excellent. Highly recommend
Just got it and I adore this jacket - it goes with pretty much anything, beautifully cut, and hangs so well. Love it!
Wow! Another outstanding shirt by Joe Bananas. I have been buying clothes from Evan for several years and I have been very impressed with his continued creativity and spectacular ability to offer new innovative fashions. The Hubba is a gorgeous shirt that I am thrilled to add to my wardrobe.
