Australia’s national gemstone, the Opal, is a marvel of nature—but none shine brighter than the Black Opal. The most valuable and sought-after of its kind, a Black Opal is defined by its dark body tone, ranging from deep grey to jet black, serving as the perfect backdrop for an explosion of colour. Due to its unique internal structure, this rare gemstone diffracts light, shifting its hues depending on its environment—an ever-changing spectacle of brilliance.
The Black Opal Raw Silk Jacket is a signature weave in the Joe Bananas collection, embodying the dynamic, electric energy of this legendary stone. With a dazzling mix of colours woven into the silk, this jacket is an instant statement piece—bold yet refined, versatile yet striking.
With the rainbow spectrum at your disposal, this jacket is ready for any outfit, any occasion, at any time of the day. Whether paired with sharp tailoring or relaxed casualwear, it commands attention without demanding it—an effortless conversation starter.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with a deep navy or crisp white shirt and tailored trousers for an opulent yet polished look.
Dress It Down – Let the jacket shine by keeping it simple with a neutral tee and denim, for a laid-back, sophisticated edge.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare and distinctive as the Black Opal itself.

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!
