GUMNUT – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Resilience. Renewal. A True Australian Icon.
The Gumnut is the lifeblood of the Australian Eucalyptus, a tiny powerhouse of regeneration that thrives in the face of harsh conditions and fire. As many eucalypt species have evolved to depend on bushfires for renewal, the Gumnut endures, survives, and flourishes, ensuring the continued legacy of Australia’s towering gum forests.
Beyond its remarkable resilience, the Gumnut has been woven into Australian folklore, made famous in May Gibbs' beloved ‘Snugglepot and Cuddlepie’ stories, a bedtime staple for generations of Aussie kids.
The Gumnut Raw Silk Jacket is our celebration of this enduring national icon. Woven in eucalyptus-inspired tones, this tapestry of silk features earthy speckled hues, mirroring the intricate, organic beauty of gumnuts in their natural form. A standout piece within the collection, this jacket embodies strength, adaptability, and unmistakable Australian character.
HOW TO WEAR IT
- Dress It Up – Pair with charcoal or deep green trousers, a crisp white linen shirt, and polished brown leather shoes for an elegant yet distinctly Australian look.
- Dress It Down – Keep it relaxed with tan chinos, a soft sage-green or stone tee, and suede boots, embracing an effortless, natural aesthetic.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare and enduring as the eucalyptus forests that inspired it.
- Handwoven raw silk – rich in texture, depth, and movement.
- Earthy eucalyptus hues with organic speckled detailing – honouring the resilience of the Gumnut.
- A piece of pure Australian heritage – bold, timeless, and uniquely captivating.
Like the Gumnut, this jacket is built to last—an emblem of survival, renewal, and quiet strength. Extremely limited—secure yours before it vanishes into legend.

Let customers speak for us
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!
