Embrace the Dark Side with Columbia's Star Wars: The Vader Collection

Bow before the Dark Side as Columbia is back with yet another Star Wars collection as Darth Vader makes his presence known 

Columbia has started an ongoing tradition each year by unveiling an impressive Star Wars collection to embrace the winter with the Force. This marks the third collection to arrive, with the first taking fans to The Clone Wars, and then fans arrived on Hoth last year with a Snowspeeder Collection. However, this year gets sinister as Columbia embraces the Dark Side as they unveil The Vader Collection. The power of the Dark Side rides as the infamous Sith Lord Darth Vader gets one of Columbia's biggest Star Wars releases to date with this 16-piece collection. Everything you know and love about Darth Vader is featured here with a red reflective thermal interior design, secret messages in Aurebesh, and so much more. This collection consists of Vader-themed hats, short sleeves, long sleeves, hoodies, a crossbody bag, a belt, socks, and even a quilted blanket. 

However, there is more to this collection, as expected, with some truly unique releases like the Vader Tech Half Zip Long Sleeve, the Vader Parka, the Vader Convertible Jacket, or embrace the full power of the Dark Side with the Darth Vader 3L Interchange Jacket. To make things even better, a very priced $2000 limited edition version of the 3L Interchange Jacket will also be released featuring autographed by Anakin Skywalker/ Darth Vader himself, Hayden Christensen. This special jacket will get its own custom box and will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Star Wars fans can join the Dark Side starting on December 5th on Columbia.com, with early access to members at 12:30 AM EST, before the public at 1:00 PM EST.
