Measure your favourite garments, don't measure your body.
We have created many thousands of custom made pieces for our clients over the past few decades. Our experience has told us that the best way for us to get this right the first time is to take your garment measurements.
The measurements below refer to your jacket. Measure your favourite jacket and compare to find your best size. Alternatively, order custom made and send us your favourite jacket's measurements, we will make you a personalised fitted piece.
For those that are already our clients, we will have your custom sizing stored in our records. Select "Custom Tailored' with confidence and we will take care of the rest.
For those who are new to Joe Bananas, we will custom make the jacket of your choice. Once you purchase we will be in touch with instructions on how to measure yourself so that we can tailor your piece with a personalised fit.
BLUE-BELLIED BLACK SNAKE – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Deadly in Style. Lethal in Presence.
Australia is home to 72 of the world’s deadliest animals—an impressive, if slightly unnerving, claim to fame. Among them is the red-bellied black snake, a creature best admired from a distance. But its lesser-known cousin, the Blue-Bellied Black Snake, is an entirely different beast.
Unlike its namesake, the Blue-Bellied Black Snake Raw Silk Jacket is not designed to be avoided—it’s designed to be noticed. Woven in a wide-banded herringbone weave, this piece is as mesmerizing as a rattlesnake’s movement, with aqua blue silk interwoven with deep black to mimic the sleek, shifting scales of a predator in motion.
Designed for understated stealth and deadly appeal, this jacket doesn’t scream for attention—it demands it in silence.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Dress It Up – Pair with a jet-black or deep navy shirt and tailored trousers for a dangerously sharp look.
Dress It Down – Let the jacket do the talking over a simple charcoal tee and dark denim.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this jacket is as rare and commanding as the snake that inspired it.
Handwoven raw silk – sleek, textured, and undeniably striking.
Aqua and black ribbon herringbone weave – evoking the hypnotic elegance of reptilian scales.
A balance of stealth and boldness – a true statement piece that needs no introduction.
Like the snake that moves without sound but holds undeniable power, this jacket is silent in approach, yet impossible to ignore. Extremely limited—secure yours before it disappears into the wild.

The Lemon linen is no Lemon, it’s great!
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.
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.
