Inspired by the winter gear worn by Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Han Solo (Harrison Ford) while enduring the harsh Hoth environment in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Columbia Sportswear has designed a limited edition ensemble called the Echo Base Collection. All three coats will be on sale from 12:01am ET (5:01am UK time) on December 8 – that’s this Friday – and will set you back about $400 (£300).
Columbia is only producing 1,980 jackets of each style, in order to commemorate Empire Strikes Back’s 1980 release date. (Expect to see them on ebay a few days later at about $400,000.) Jackets will be available online and in select stores in the US, Canada, Europe, China, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea. You can find more details here and get a closer look at each jacket style below.
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 Jacket

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.”
