Columbia Sportswear has teamed up with Lucasfilm once again to launch another StarWars™ collection centered around Luke Skywalker and his iconic pilot suit from the StarWars™ saga. It’s the largest Columbia x StarWars™ collection yet and includes fan-favorite details of the iconic orange flight suit. At the same time, functionality, technology and design are combined to stand up to the empire (and the elements).
As part of the background research for this special collection, the Columbia team, along with the Lucasfilm team, closely studied the original costumes from the films to ensure authentic details were incorporated into the designs. The insulated collar construction, precise cuffs and fan-favorite Easter eggs – including vehicle schematics and original concept art – make this collection an unforgettable experience.
“This collaboration combines Star Wars design with the performance and durability Columbia is known for,” said Matt Merriman, VP Brand Development and Partnerships at Columbia Sportswear. „These are not costume copies. Rather, our product team was inspired by Luke Skywalker’s iconic flight suit and designed a complete ski collection that defies the elements.
It was exactly this combination that appealed to us. The models are as functional as they are beautiful. The collection’s core models also feature the gold standard in warmth – Columbia’s Omni-Heat Infinity™ thermal-reflective technology – so fans can truly cope with the winter elements. The Skywalker Pilot Collection includes a range of performance and lifestyle products with a price range of EUR 40 to EUR 550:
