The Echidna—one of Australia’s most curious and ancient creatures—is a true evolutionary marvel, dating back between 20 and 50 million years. A monotreme, it is one of the very few egg-laying mammals on the planet. Armed with sharp spines for protection and an insatiable appetite for ants, this enigmatic creature moves through the Australian landscape with quiet determination.
Much like its namesake, the Echidna Raw Silk Jacket is a study in understated elegance. Featuring a fantastic abstract herringbone weave, this jacket mirrors the intricate textures of the echidna’s spines, with black and grey silk interwoven with white to create a striking contrast and subtle visual movement.
This jacket is for those who appreciate individuality, quiet strength, and timeless style—a statement of refined confidence, as unique as the echidna itself.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with charcoal, black, or deep navy trousers and a crisp white or slate-grey shirt for a look of modern sophistication.
Dress It Down – Keep it relaxed with earth-toned chinos or dark denim and a neutral tee, embracing effortless cool.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare and distinctive as the creature it pays tribute to.
Handwoven raw silk – textured, rich, and full of depth.
Black, grey, and white in an abstract herringbone weave – capturing the natural patterns of the echidna’s spines.

Like the Echidna, this jacket is unique, adaptable, and unforgettable. Extremely limited—secure yours before it disappears into the wild.
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!
