After his promotion from Missile Commander to General, Clayton M Abernathy and his trusted wingman, Chuckles, both needed some time away from base and decided that an off-duty expedition to Medellin might fit the bill for their necessary R&R. Night one, It is 23:07 hrs and they find themselves in a den of entertainment where the air was thick and the beads of sweat rolled freely. The mood was high. Chuckles took the last swig of his still icy cold vessel as his thirst was large, he turned to Abernathy and said quietly, “after another round of yes please, and no matter how hard I try, this thirst is not going away; why don’t we play a little game of charades”. "The only condition”, Chuckles insisted “GI rules”.
The GI rules of charades are as follows; As one is actively interpreting the object to their fellow player, they must do this while navigating the multiple obstacles they face whilst maintaining the straightest of lines throughout the challenge.
The challenge was gracefully accepted by Abernathy as this is a game they often played together, and he did his very best to avoid the obstacles. The portrayed object in his round was the one and only, American symbol of freedom, the Bald Eagle. An easy narrative as his Caw CAW, is one of the best going around and, at his age of 46, he follicley challenged. The night started there, and some say it escalated for the next 6 days. They were lucky to get out of there alive.
Long story short, this is how he achieved the nickname of Hawk, and the rest of the ‘holiday’ remains classified there is little other documented from their trip from 23:09 that evening. Upon their return, he was awarded the rank of General, and this is how General Hawk came to be.
Abernathy was seen wearing just like shirt on his flight homeand it is said it was bought at a flea market during their time in Columbia and it was only fitting to bring this adventure to life.
All Hail, General Hawk.

Washing Care
Let customers speak for us
I bought my first JB jacket in Melbourne last year while traveling with my wife. Our Aussie friend pointed out the store in Sydney where he had bought a jacket. I dig my linen coat and it now has a sibling in the closet to hang with named Rocky.
I love the pink suede cap! SO FUN and cheerful everyone that sees it SMILES!!
Thank YOU from a new happy patron. We don’t have Joe Bananas in AUSTIN TX YET??!!!
Cap fits great. I get a lot of looks and so it is a conversation starter. I wear it very often and thoroughly enjoy it
Great shirt - people turn their heads and ask where on earth did I get it. Bravo, as always good to know u. cheers shaun
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!
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).
