Formed over millennia of pressure and transformation, shale is a rock of quiet complexity—layered, structured, and rich in natural beauty. The Blue Shale Raw Silk Jacket mirrors this intricate composition, weaving sporadically spaced vertical silk lines into a refined fabric that echoes the parallel striations of sedimentary rock.
Much like shale itself, this jacket is defined by subtle depth—an interplay of texture and tone that evolves with the light and movement of the wearer. Elegant yet bold, structured yet fluid, this piece is for those who appreciate nuanced design and timeless sophistication.
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this is a jacket as rare as the layers of earth that inspired it.
Handwoven raw silk – textured, structured, and endlessly refined. Inspired by the natural layering of shale – woven with precision and depth. Vertical silk detailing – creating a striking yet understated aesthetic.
Like shale shaped by time, the BLUE SHALE jacket is a statement of natural elegance, quiet strength, and distinguished style. Extremely limited—secure yours before it settles into history.

Rockin’ the Rockface
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??!!!
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!
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).
