BLACK OPAL STEPWEAVE – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Nature’s Rarest Treasure. Woven into Timeless Craft.
The Black Opal Stepweave Raw Silk Jacket is more than a piece of clothing—it’s a tribute to the unmatched brilliance of Australian Black Opals, where nature’s artistry meets masterful craftsmanship. These rare and mesmerizing gemstones, formed over millions of years beneath the surface of the Australian Outback, are revered for their deep, dark body tones and electrifying bursts of colour, shifting and shimmering with every movement.
This jacket captures that magic through a meticulous handwoven stepweave, designed to reflect the layered depth and complexity of the Black Opal itself. Vibrant hues flicker through the dark silk fabric, much like the play-of-colour seen in these legendary stones. Every thread tells a story of earth’s hidden treasures, brought to life by the artistry of Joe Bananas’ expert weavers.
To wear the Black Opal Stepweave Jacket is to carry a piece of Australia’s natural wonder and elegance, wrapped in a fabric that is as rare as the gemstone that inspired it.
HOW TO WEAR IT
- Dress It Up – Pair it with a deep midnight or opal-blue shirt and tailored black trousers for a sleek, sophisticated look.
- Dress It Down – Let the natural spectrum of colour take center stage with dark denim and a neutral tee for effortless refinement.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is crafted for those who appreciate the balance of natural beauty and human artistry.

- An eternal conversation piece – bringing rare elegance to any wardrobe.
Like the Black Opal, this jacket is a rare masterpiece—steeped in history, wrapped in mystery, and designed to turn heads. Extremely limited—secure yours before it becomes legend.

Washing Care
Let customers speak for us
Loved this shirt with my linen pants and tweed jacket. Unofficially won best dressed at the wedding I attended.
The quality of service, customer driven attention to detail was outstanding!
They wear well and they hold up well, the only downside side they do not have enough of a color selection.
Lots of complements on my shirt from many while enjoying rock oysters during my visit to Sydney!
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.
As always, JoeB manages to blend the right style with the right amount of cool. The shirt looks and feels terrific. I have worn it with shorts, and underneath a jacket at a casual party…lots of compliments on all occasions!
I recently purchased this black leather belt and I’m really impressed with the quality—it feels sturdy and well-made. The leather looks sleek and premium. It is comfortable, stylish, and versatile enough for both casual and formal outfits. This is my second belt from JB. Highly recommended!
