BLACK OPAL STRATA – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
A Celebration of Colour. A Signature of Style.
The Opal is Australia’s national gemstone, and none are more breathtaking than the Black Opal—the rarest, most valuable of them all. With its dark body tone, ranging from deep grey to jet black, this legendary stone serves as the perfect canvas for an explosion of light and colour, shifting and shimmering depending on the conditions in which it formed.
The Black Opal Strata Raw Silk Jacket is a signature weave in the Joe Bananas collection, designed to capture that same electric vibrancy. With a bountiful mix of colours woven into a striking rainbow spectrum, this piece is alive with movement, energy, and pure festive spirit. The moment you slip it on, it’s impossible not to embody the joy and celebration it represents.
Whether dressing up for an elegant evening or embracing a casual, statement-making ensemble, this jacket is ready for any outfit, any occasion, at any time of the day.
HOW TO WEAR IT
- Dress It Up – Pair with a deep navy or crisp white shirt and tailored trousers for an effortlessly polished look.
- Dress It Down – Keep it playful with a relaxed tee and dark denim, letting the jacket’s colours take center stage.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this jacket is as rare and mesmerizing as the gemstone that inspired it.
- Handwoven raw silk – bold, dynamic, and full of movement.
- Rainbow spectrum weave – an ever-shifting display of colour and energy.
- A true celebration of life and style – made for those who live boldly and dress accordingly.
Like the Black Opal itself, this jacket is a one-of-a-kind marvel—dazzling, unforgettable, and impossible to ignore. Extremely limited—secure yours before it disappears into legend.

Washing Care
Let customers speak for us
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!
Very impressed by the unique designs and high end fabrics. I’ve become board with the normal run of the mill men’s casual clothing widely available but Joe Bananas is far from run of the mill; all be it somewhat expensive.
One good thing came out of Covid for me. A "life is too short to be dull". So when I found that no one around me required I strap myself back into the same suits and ties I'd been cycling through for the last 40 years, I tossed all that old stuff. I found Joe Bananas. Drab out. Color, style, and uniqueness in. Complements came. Loved it. And with Joe's help, I will refill my newly created closet space with apparel that I'll be happy to look at and wear.
When I wear this beautiful jacket, can be sure that I am noticed for the right reasons.
Evan continues to create fantastic looking shirts that are comfortable to wear. I just purchased Barney's Bonanza and I love it. I have worn it with one of Evan's killer sports coats and a couple of times with no jacket. I received lots of positive comments on what a great looking shirt I was wearing.
Evan nails it. Once again, helping me step my wardrobe up to exceed my expectations as well as those at the event. Felt good getting the complements. I went into the crowd knowing that no one else would be wearing the same look. Definitely a confidence building outfit.
Is my second Joe shirt. I really like the fabric tight weave. Looking forward to next good shirt.
