BASS STRAIT – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Wild Waters. Whispered Elegance.
Where the Tasman meets the Southern Ocean, the Bass Strait roars — unpredictable, untamed, and endlessly captivating. Its waters shift from steely blue to soft violet at dusk, with currents weaving and breaking like nature's own rhythmic pattern. Rugged. Beautiful. Mysterious.
The BASS STRAIT Raw Silk Jacket captures that mesmerising moment between sea and sky — when the swell softens, the breeze cools, and a faint lilac sheen stretches across the horizon. Hand-woven in a herringbone-with-a-twist, this textile echoes the movement of water crossing tides… flowing, folding, and shimmering from every angle.
Soft lilac undertones drift through oceanic blues and gentle neutrals, giving the fabric a refined depth — subtle, yet undeniably striking. Dressed up or worn relaxed, it's the sort of jacket that commands attention without ever needing to shout. A quiet powerhouse.
Hand-crafted over months, and produced in extremely limited numbers, this piece is as rare as a glass-still day in the Strait.
-
Handwoven raw silk – luxuriously textured and naturally luminous.
-
Soft lilac, sea-blue & sand-neutral yarns – inspired by twilight atop the Bass Strait.
-
Unique “herringbone-with-a-twist” weave – capturing the movement and cross-currents of shifting tides.
-
Versatile and effortlessly refined – built for evenings, events, and every bold moment in between.
Like the waters it honours, the BASS STRAIT JACKET carries depth, power, and quiet presence. Highly limited. Own one before the tide turns.

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).
