Columbia Strikes Back with Star Wars Collab

The sportswear giant is honoring the classic film with three limited edition jackets inspired by the franchises’ iconic characters.

A nod to the costumes worn by Han Solo, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker, the officially licensed collection was designed in collaboration with Lucasfilm and its archives team to capture and incorporate intricate details of the original jackets worn in the film. Columbia has also developed an Archive Edition parka inspired by Han Solo’s dark brown jacket worn on planet Hoth.

Columbia has also partnered with Harrison Ford to benefit the Conservation International, a global organization dedicated to the protection of nature. Through the agreement, Ford has hand-signed each of the Han Solo Archive Edition parkas and Columbia will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from their sale to the charity.
