Measure your favourite garments, don't measure your body.
We have created many thousands of custom made pieces for our clients over the past few decades. Our experience has told us that the best way for us to get this right the first time is to take your garment measurements.
The measurements below refer to your jacket. Measure your favourite jacket and compare to find your best size. Alternatively, order custom made and send us your favourite jacket's measurements, we will make you a personalised fitted piece.
For those that are already our clients, we will have your custom sizing stored in our records. Select "Custom Tailored' with confidence and we will take care of the rest.
For those who are new to Joe Bananas, we will custom make the jacket of your choice. Once you purchase we will be in touch with instructions on how to measure yourself so that we can tailor your piece with a personalised fit.
For over three millennia, cobalt-based blue pigments have left their mark on history and craftsmanship, from ancient Egyptian ceramics to the rich blues of Renaissance glass and porcelain. But it wasn’t until the 18th century that cobalt was isolated and truly understood—revealing its true power. Interestingly, aside from rare meteorite fragments, Cobalt is never found alone—it’s always paired with other elements, making it as mysterious as it is valuable.
The Cobalt Raw Silk Jacket takes inspiration from this scientific wonder, blending deep cobalt blues into a crystalline formation, surrounded by shimmering silver silk threads. The result? A jacket that’s as rare as the element itself, striking in colour and magnetic in presence.
Like Cobalt in nature, this jacket doesn’t exist in isolation—it thrives in any setting, commanding attention without demanding it.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – This rare find does black tie with ridiculous ease. Simply add:
Formal black trousers
Patent leather shoes
White dress shirt & black bowtie
Pause… then order your martini.
Dress It Down – Pair with pale blue chinos or light denim and a LOUD shirt. Don’t worry—Cobalt blue keeps all in check.
FUN FACT:
Despite being a common element, Cobalt is rarely found in abundance, making it highly valuable and selectively mined—just like this limited-edition jacket.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare and sought-after as Cobalt itself.
Handwoven raw silk – textured, luminous, and full of depth.
Deep cobalt blue woven with silver silk – echoing the crystal formations of the element.
A balance of power and elegance – for those who appreciate true rarity and refinement.
Like Cobalt, this jacket is always in good company—magnetic, timeless, and impossible to ignore. Extremely limited—secure yours before it’s gone.

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!
The Lemon linen is a great shirt. I was searching for a vibrant “Statement shirt” for an event on our vacation to Ibiza, and I found it at Joe Bananas, where I found many other things I liked as well. The quality of merchandise is outstanding, the designs are unique, and customer service is exceptional. I’m very pleased with my lemon and my experience, my first at Joe Bananas, but certainly not the last.
Needed a new jacket for a late invitation-no worries… Got my Black Marble after some size adjustments, just in time and with a very nice fit and looks (and that all the way to Sweden).
Nat our most excellent Sales rep absolutely sold me on this shirt and I wore it once and clocked 15 compliments in a 15 min walk to the restaurant. This shirt will get you noticed ...
Whenever I wear one of my Joe Bananas jackets, I never fail to get a compliment. The latest was at the Addison and a night to remember. Thank you Even.
Normally I do not enjoy large prints on shirts but after seeing the striking color contrast of purple, white, blue, and dashes of deep burgundy I was captivated. The water color type design is eye catching yet subdued at the same time.
