COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR DEBUTS ROGUE ONE-INSPIRED JACKETS

Oregon-based outdoor brand Columbia Sportswear has unveiled three limited-edition, high-performance jackets inspired by characters in the upcoming film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. They will be available in very limited quantities on www.columbia.com and Columbia’s retail locations beginning December 9.

The high-performance jackets are the Jyn Erso Rebel ($400); the Captain Cassian Andor Rebel Parka ($500); and the Imperial Death Trooper Jacket ($450). Each piece features special technology and design details, and will stand up to the cold, wet weather of the winter season.

“We are extremely pleased to announce a first of its kind outerwear collaboration with Lucasfilm,” said Joe Boyle, Senior VP of Columbia Brand Merchandising and Design. “Star Wars is arguably the most globally recognizable film franchise in the world, and presents us with an unparalleled opportunity to showcase our brand and premier technologies.”
