TIGER COWRIE – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Refined Elegance. Hidden Depth.
The Tiger Cowrie (Cypraea tigris) has long been admired for its smooth, glossy shell and intricate patterning. From the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific to the collections of 18th-century naturalists, its timeless beauty and natural geometry have captivated admirers for centuries.
Just as the Tiger Cowrie’s markings make each shell unique, the Tiger Cowrie Raw Silk Jacket brings its own elegant individuality to the modern wardrobe. A geometric weave mimics the shell’s distinctive pattern, creating a classic yet contemporary look that offers layers of subtle interest upon closer inspection.
THE ART OF THE WEAVE
- Handwoven Raw Silk – A luxurious textile that captures the fluid movement and depth of the ocean.
- Geometric Grid Pattern – Inspired by the natural markings of the Tiger Cowrie, giving the jacket a refined yet intriguing aesthetic.
- Elegant Neutral Tones – A balance of deep browns, soft creams, and muted charcoals, ensuring versatility and timeless appeal.
HOW TO WEAR IT
- Dress It Up – Pair with crisp white or charcoal dress trousers, a deep chocolate or ivory dress shirt, and polished leather loafers for a look of understated luxury.
- Dress It Down – Layer over dark denim, a relaxed linen tee, and suede boots for effortless sophistication.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Each Tiger Cowrie Jacket is woven by hand over 250-300 days, ensuring that no two pieces are ever truly alike. With its unique craftsmanship and nature-inspired design, this jacket is a statement of refined individuality.
A SYMBOL OF NATURAL ELEGANCE
As with the Tiger Cowrie shell itself, this jacket is a piece of nature’s artistry—subtle yet striking, intricate yet effortless. Whether worn as a wardrobe staple or a standout signature piece, it is a testament to the beauty of refined details and timeless design.
The perfect blend of heritage craftsmanship and modern sophistication.

Love Joe Bananas and Evan Sturrock. Phenomenal service, brilliant artistry, and unparalleled product. Highly recommend.
This jacket was a bit of a divergence from where my wardrobe currently sits with a lot of blues and greys in my closet today. Purchasing this was a game changer! So much so I brought my dad in to buy a jacket for himself. If you want to stand out, this place is a must shop.
Some of the most beautiful clothing I’ve ever seen in my life! It wears as good as it looks, and I couldn’t be happier. HIGHLY recommend! Thanks for taking the time with me Evan, I appreciate your hospitality. G’day, Mate.

Extremely comfortable, perfectly tailored. I’m 6’3 and the length is perfect. Almost as nice as the other shirt I bought with it!
Fits like a glove, and the patterns is great with a wife variety of pants combination. Love the smooth soft silk. Will buy more.
Best fit and finish available. Bonus of great service.
This cotton shirt is so light and comfortable The fit is perfect for my athlete build I appreciate the staff and Nat is simply amazing with her sense of fashion and style
I had more than 100 business suits. Now retired living in SoCal I have more than 100 Tee Shirts. However after buying my yellow T, I love it so much I bought a pink one, then a white one, and the light blue one is next. My wife recently asked “are you ever going to wear any of your other 100?” I don’t know the answer to that!
These suits are very comfortable and more importantly, l look very good in them
This jacket is a unique piece that will let you stand out from the crowd. Material is excellent. Building quality and fit are both excellent. Highly recommend
Just got it and I adore this jacket - it goes with pretty much anything, beautifully cut, and hangs so well. Love it!
Wow! Another outstanding shirt by Joe Bananas. I have been buying clothes from Evan for several years and I have been very impressed with his continued creativity and spectacular ability to offer new innovative fashions. The Hubba is a gorgeous shirt that I am thrilled to add to my wardrobe.
