BLACK OPAL – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
A National Treasure. A Signature Masterpiece.
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.
- Handwoven raw silk – rich in depth, movement, and brilliance.
- Opal-inspired colour spectrum woven into silk – a luminous, ever-shifting display of vibrancy.
- A signature Joe Bananas masterpiece – wearable art at its finest.
Like the Black Opal, this jacket is a natural wonder—radiant, rare, and impossible to ignore. Extremely limited—secure yours before it vanishes into legend.

from 484 reviewsGreat shirts, perfect fit and lots of comments from friends.
This is probably my favorite jacket. It goes with everything. Jeans, shorts, formal pants, etc. The material is top notch and screams elegant but feels casual.
Loved meeting Evan(?) so color and art forward.
This is easily one of my favorite shirts. It breathes on hot days and the silk feels so smooth against your skin that you barely feel like you're wearing anything.
This jacket is so good, my wife steals it from me more than I get to wear it. This is our most used jacket when traveling to a cold climate and it packs so well.
I wandered in the Joe Bananas store while my wife and I were out for afternoon. I wasn’t looking to buy a new sport coat but the colors and styles caught my eye. After chatting with Evan for a while and learning about their wonderful jackets my wife and I went about our afternoon. The thought of these jackets just kept coming back into my head. Before we headed home I decided just to go look at them again and before I knew it I had found one that I decided I couldn’t leave without. The way it can go with any color of shirts or pants you’re wearing with it is amazing. It’s so comfortable, I just had to have it. It’s been about two weeks now and I still love it. I can’t wait to find the next!
I love this shirt. The fit and feel are great. I’ve tried tons of different T-shirts and now I’ve found some great ones to go with. Definitely need to get myself a few more.
I didn’t leave the house with this jacket in mind, not a thought in my head. I was looking for an outfit for an upcoming wedding I was officiating. But the designer slide one on my shoulders while talking with my wife and I, just to try on. We enjoyed the conversation, I took the jacket off and we said our goodbyes. Walking away, I could still feel the jacket on my frame. Never felt that before, understandable after learning of the care, from the beginning of the process through to the final product, that the designer takes in his craft.
I didn’t leave the house looking for a jacket…but it turns out that was exactly what I didn’t know I was looking for. Thanks Evan!
Light as a feather and as striking as it gets. The cuttlefish may be camouflaged, but this jacket makes you stand out in the crowd.
I have worn my lilac linen & silk jacket in very hot weather and in air conditioning. It’s been comfortable in both environments, without a crease to be found. An essential part of any wardrobe.
Looks great, fits great, feels great.
We found Joe Bananas in Sydney Australia and my husband had an amazing blazer made to order. Everything is so unique and a piece of art that relates to the beauty and natural surroundings of the environment. So impressive. We frequent the Newport Beach, CA Fashion Island location when we are in California.
Incredible top to bottom, inside to outside. Perfect for Spring/Summer and for travel as it refuses to wrinkle. It’s lightweight, breathable, and feels luxurious. Very happy with this, already got a green jacket, and will no doubt get other colors. Natalie’s help getting the custom fit and tailoring was equally incredible.
Perfect long sleeve linen, cut well, long enough to tuck in for my long torso but not too long that you can’t leave it untucked. Will be buying more colors.
As with every Joe Bananas jacket I own, this one did not disappoint. They always fit great, move great and oddly keep you warm and cool depending on the weather. What best is the staff is awsome and very much look forward to what they come up with next.
