Columbia’s recent Star Wars-inspired winter collection, designed for cold climates like Hoth, could potentially entice you towards the allure of the dark side.

Today, an outdoors lifestyle brand has unveiled their new Vader collection, a collaboration with Lucasfilm, which brings the character of the former Jedi knight turned Sith Lord, Darth Vader, to their signature outerwear. For the first time, this collection also features a unique line of shoes inspired by “Star Wars”. The range consists of 20 items such as glossy black quilted convertible jackets and parkas, a three-layer jacket that references Darth Vader’s helmet and armor, T-shirts and socks showcasing the iconic silhouette of Darth Vader, among other pieces suitable for a journey to Orto Plutonia. A limited-edition 3L Interchange jacket signed by actor Hayden Christensen was quickly sold out; all proceeds from the sale went to the Make-A-Wish foundation.
