'Star Wars' and Columbia Reconnect for "The Skywalker Pilot Collection"

American sportswear company Columbia has worked closely with the Star Wars franchise for years, presenting themed collections every winter. The duo’s work together landed it a spot in our rundown of the best Star Wars fashion collaborations feature for May the Fourth this year and they’ve now expanded on the series with the unveiling of “The Skywalker Pilot Collection.”

Tapping into the Original Trilogy for inspiration, it draws from Luke Skywalker’s instantly-recognizable flight suit. Naturally, his suit’s bright orange colors a majority of the capsule’s pieces as the Skywalker Pilot Ski Suit leads the way with everything from detailed patches to hidden blueprint graphics of R2-D2 and a T-65 X-wing Starfighter. Not to mention, it is packed with ski-ready detailing such as Omni-Tech waterproof breathable fabric, a ski pass pocket and thermal reflective lining. Joining the suit, the Skywalker Pilot Ski Jacket and Skywalker Pilot Lightweight Jacket both feature outdoor-ready builds that sport references to the theme ranging from more blueprint graphics to messages in Aurebesh.

From there, the Skywalker Pilot Pullover appears in both T-65 X-wing Starfighter and T-47 Airspeeder/Snowspeeder-themed looks of orange and light gray. The hoodies utilize a heavyweight cotton-blend fabric that pairs with a flak-vest-inspired chest pocket and a thematic print. Rounding out the apparel, the Skywalker Pilot Long-Sleeve and Short-Sleeve Shirts feature original concept art from Ralph McQuarrie and vehicle schematics respectively.

Rounding out the range, the accessory options start with the Skywalker Pilot Ball Cap — a snapback that features a textured emblem on the front that nods to Luke Skywalker’s helmet insignia. A special pair of Skywalker Pilot Snow Goggles have been produced as well, recreating his iconic helmet and visor in goggle form. Lastly, the Skywalker Pilot Crossbody Bag comes with a themed look that is backed by an adjustable belt, multifunctional pockets and raised logo patches in silicone.

For those interested in shopping “The Skywalker Pilot Collection” from Star Wars and Columbia, it is scheduled to release on December 1 via Columbia’s website and select Columbia storefronts. Prices begin at $40 USD for the Skywalker Pilot Ball Cap and go up to $500 USD for the Skywalker Pilot Ski Suit.
