Columbia Goes to the Dark Side with Darth Vader Jacket Collection

by

As a gamer who’s spent countless hours battling through the frozen wastelands of Hoth and the fiery pits of Mustafar, I can say without a doubt that Columbia Sportswear’s latest Star Wars collection is a game-changer! The Darth Vader-inspired pieces are not just stylish but also functional for any galactic adventure.

As Darth Vader strode into Echo Base on Hoth, his cape billowing dramatically, he appeared unfazed by the cold. Beneath his armor and machinery, he likely was comfortable. However, the rest of us required warmth against those harsh temperatures. Luckily, Columbia Sportswear has a solution for us. Their newest Star Wars collection is their largest yet, focusing on none other than Darth Vader himself. The streetwear-inspired designs in this collection draw inspiration from Darth Vader’s black attire. The design combines matte and glossy materials with intricate details that evoke the Sith. We are particularly fond of the warm outerwear pieces.

Shown here are select pieces from Columbia’s Darth Vader costume collection, which features various jacket designs.

  • Vader™ Parka (MSRP $350) – A special-edition parka inspired by Darth Vader and built to master the elements with an Omni-Tech™ waterproof-breathable shell and warm custom red and black Omni-Heat™ Infinity lining.
  • Vader™ 3L Interchange Jacket (MSRP $600) – A special-edition 3-in-1 jacket inspired by Darth Vader and built to master the elements with a durable triple-layer waterproof-breathable shell and inner down layer that can be worn separately or together. Star Wars-inspired features include a custom red and black Omni-Heat™ Infinity lining, graphic print inspired by Vader’s home planet of Mustafar, messages in Aurebesh, lightsaber™ zipper pulls, reflective detailing, and construction inspired by Vader’s helmet, armor, and chest plate.
  • Vader™ Convertible Jacket (MSRP $225) – Embrace the power of the dark side with this 2-in-1 designed with removable sleeves so it can be worn as a jacket or vest. Available in extended sizes. 

When exploring the galaxy, it’s always wise to be prepared, even if you won’t necessarily need heavy jackets like those for a visit to Mustafar. This collection offers a diverse range of items, such as warm clothing, cozy blankets, Vader boots, water bottles, socks, t-shirts, hoodies, and a bucket hat. The image below showcases the variety available. Be sure to check out the gallery for details like hidden Aurebesh, references to Vader’s castle on Mustafar, and more.



The 16-piece Darth Vader collection is available now at Columbia’s website. Stay warm and may the (dark side) of the Force be with you.
