Columbia has revealed its 2023 Star Wars winter collection, and if you have the money to afford these things, there’s some really cool gear to buy here! This is actually one of the biggest Star Wars x Columbia to this day, and Luke Skywalker’s iconic orange flight suit serves as inspiration for the collection which includes a full ski suit, jackets and snow goggles. A hooded sweater, a long-sleeved t-shirt, a short-sleeved t-shirt, a hat and a shoulder bag.
Columbia states that their team “researched the original screen-worn costumes closely with the team at Lucasfilm to ensure authentic details were incorporated into the designs.” Also included are some fun little Easter eggs, like vehicle schematics and original concept art, subtly hidden in each piece.
Matt Merriman, VP Brand Development and Partnerships at Columbia Sportswear, said in a statement: “This collaboration balances Star Wars design with the performance and durability Columbia is known for. These are not costume replicas. Rather, our product team was inspired by Luke Skywalker’s iconic costume.” flightsuite has created a fully equipped ski collection, built to withstand the elements. It is this mash-up that we find interesting. The models are as functional as they are beautiful.
“Columbia will unveil this collection the week of the NASCAR Cup Series championship on November 5, where Columbia ambassador Bubba Wallace will race his version of Luke Skywalker’s Red Five X-wing Starfighter. The car, helmet and suit Wallace’s firefighting feature intricate elements inspired by the Star Wars galaxy as he attempts to make the leap into hyperspace at the Phoenix International Raceway.”
Here’s a breakdown of each piece in the Skywalker Pilot collection. Prices range from $40 to $500, and it will all go on sale starting at 9:01 PM PT/12:01 AM ET on November 30/December 1 right here on Columbia’s website. I’ve also included additional images below.
