PAPERBARK – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
A Tribute to Australia’s Iconic Landscape
The Australian paperbark tree (Melaleuca quinquenervia) is woven into the fabric of the great Australian wilderness. A true survivor of the landscape, it has served as a natural resource for Indigenous Australians for centuries—used for everything from rafts and shelter to bandages and food preparation.
Taking inspiration from the tree’s unique, soft, and textured bark, the Paperbark Raw Silk Jacket is a masterclass in understated elegance. With its rich, neutral tones and a lightweight, handwoven silk weave, this jacket is the epitome of classic sophistication.
THE WEAVE
Crafted from handwoven raw silk, the Paperbark jacket reflects the natural beauty and texture of its namesake tree. Its soft, breathable weave makes it exceptionally lightweight, enhancing both its luxury and versatility. Whether worn in the heat of summer or layered for cooler evenings, this jacket is an effortless statement of refined style.
HOW TO WEAR IT
- Dress It Up – Pair with cream or stone linen trousers, a navy or crisp white shirt, and leather loafers for a polished look.
- Dress It Down – Wear it with denim, a soft linen tee, and suede boots for a relaxed yet distinguished style.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
- 100% Handwoven Raw Silk – Lightweight, breathable, and luxurious.
- Inspired by nature – A tribute to Australia’s paperbark tree, renowned for its soft, layered texture.
- Versatile & timeless – A neutral classic that transitions seamlessly across seasons and occasions.
FUN FACT
The paperbark tree is so resilient that it thrives in flood-prone areas, making it one of Australia’s most adaptable and enduring native trees.
Natural elegance, effortless luxury—this is Paperbark.

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!
