Columbia is teaming up with Disney to release an officially licensed line of limited edition jackets based on Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back! The Blot likes to call this the Columbia Hoth Collection, but it’s officially being named the Echo Base Collection (which works as well). What’s really cool about this release celebrating the 1980 release of the film is that each jacket in the collection is based on the actual coats worn by Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Prince Leia in Episode V. All three jackets seen here are limited to just 1,980 pieces, retail for $400 each and include Star Wars specific details like a Rebel patch, numbered labels, and character specific sayings. These Empire Strikes Back Columbia jackets will be sold exclusively at select Columbia locations in the United States and online at Columbia.com on Friday, December 8th.
Luke Skywalker Echo Base Jacket: The officially-licensed, limited-edition Luke Skywalker Echo Base Jacket will keep you warmer than a tauntaun while you take on the Empire. This durable cotton-blend, water-resistant jacket and vest combination with a stowable hood is inspired by Luke’s original Hoth costume in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and features Omni-Heat Reflective insulation to conserve body heat. You’ll stay warm and dry whether you’re patrolling an ice planet or getting ready for a duel with your father.
Han Solo Echo Base Parka: When cold weather hits, the officially-licensed, limited-edition Han Solo Echo Base Parka will keep you warmer than a hug from your favorite wookiee. Crafted of durable, water-resistant, cotton-blend fabric and insulated with Omni-Heat Thermal Reflective, it’s a lot like Han—rugged and durable on the outside, warm and full of surprises on the inside. Inspired by the original costume in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, the jacket features a faux-fur trimmed hood that allows you to slip past bounty hunters incognito whether you’re on the ice planet Hoth or a bit closer to home.
