Whether you're on the light side or the dark side, Star Wars fans have a lot to be excited about this holiday season. There are thousands of gifts available for Star Wars fans, but one new collection, which we now know comes out annually, is particularly enticing.
It's time for the release of Columbia x Star Wars, and this year, the team has outdone itself. To celebrate the eighth year of this collection, they have transformed Luke Skywalker's iconic on-screen clothing. The Empire Strikes Back and A new hope in real clothes for The Skywalker Pilot Collection.
So if you've ever wanted to rock Skywalker's iconic orange flight suit, you can now buy Columbia's new ski suit that looks just like the real thing. It's actually the largest collection of Star Wars pieces Columbia has ever released, with nine pieces in total and some that come in multiple styles.
But like any limited edition, the latest Columbia x Star Wars combo is almost certain to sell out. It will be available to order at 12:01 am ET on December 1, 2023 and will likely sell out soon after. This is a limited edition and Columbia will not be restocking, so you can consider these collector's items. The Skywalker Pilot collection will arrive shortly after Columbia abandoned the Disney 100 collection, which sold out in a matter of days.
Best of all, I got a preview of the entire collection and can share a little about each piece that I think is worth your money (or in Star Wars, credits). If you are shopping at the latest, may the force be with you.
Skywalker Pilot Ski Jacket, $350 at Columbia
Considering you can't wear a full ski suit in the city every day, the Skywalker Pilot Ski Jacket is a more everyday option. It features Omni-Heat Infinity lining and Omni-tech material throughout, making it waterproof.
You get the same Rebel insignia on the lower left sleeve and the molded silicone communication patch on the front left chest. Plus, when you open the right front chest pocket, you'll find R2D2 schematics, plus functional storage. Inside, you'll find many messages from Aurebesh and schematics for Luke's T-65 X-Wing starfighter.
Skywalker Pilot Ski Suit, $500 at Columbia
Whether you ski all the time or just want to dress like Luke Skywalker stepping out of his iconic X-Wing, Columbia's Skywalker Pilot Ski Suit is ideal. As far as the competition suits go, they are actually also reasonably priced at $500. Inside, it will keep you warm with an Omni-Heat Infinity lining that reflects body heat back to your body. The exterior is made with Columbia's Omni-tech material that is waterproof and breathable.
The ski suit features several pockets, some of which hide some Easter eggs, such as written in Aurebesh, also known as the Star Wars language, and when you open the front pocket, you will find a blueprint and specifications for R2-D2. How cool is that? You'll also find rebel insignia on the side arm and ribbing on both sides, mimicking the actual flight suit. Last but not least, you get a communications silicone mold on the front of the chest, below the Columbia logo.
Skywalker Pilot Crossbody Bag, $50 at Columbia
Lululemon may offer the Everywhere Belt Bag, but we present to you the Skywalker Pilot Crossbody Bag, which is guaranteed to be a hit for anyone who loves these movies. It's functional, has plenty of room and an adjustable strap for easy fit, and features Star Wars badging all over. It's perfect for a day at Galaxy's Edge at Disney World or Disneyland.
Skywalker Pilot Sweater, $150 at Columbia
While Luke Skywalker didn't necessarily wear a hoodie, we're sure he'd rock this Columbia pullover. Like any good sweatshirt, he has a large kangaroo pocket on the front and, for added security, Columbia places zippers on both sides.
Where are the Star Wars details? You'll find the Rebel icon on the sleeve, as well as a custom graphic on the back for the T-65 X-Wing (for the orange color) or the T-47 Air or Snow Speeder (for the white).
Skywalker Pilot Lightweight Jacket, $200 at Columbia
As the name suggests, this is a lighter winter coat. While it lacks a chest pocket, you have two on the front that can be closed with zippers. Luckily, Columbia kept the attention to detail with ribbing on the arms, the communications patch, and the rebel icon on her sleeve. You'll still find some hidden nods to Star Wars, including the emphasized bomber collar and T-47 Airspeeder schematics inside the jacket.
Skywalker Pilot Cap, $40 at Columbia
The Skywalker cap is the most affordable item: $40. It's a classic and comfortable cap with a textured emblem on the front inspired by Skywalker's helmet.
Skywalker Pilot Long Sleeve Shirt, $70 at Columbia
If you love Star Wars artwork or are looking for someone who does, look no further than the Skywalker Pilot Long Sleeve Shirt. It's a comfortable, heavyweight shirt in a cotton blend that features the Rebel insignia on the left arm. The star here is vintage Star Wars concept art that, before this, had not been seen!
Skywalker Pilot Short Sleeve Shirt, $55 at Columbia
For the Skywalker pilot short sleeve shirts, you can choose white for Luke's T-65 X-Wing Starfighter schemes on the back or red with the T-47 Air or Snow speeder. You get a lot of Easter eggs with this one.
