For the fifth year running, Columbia launches an outerwear line inspired by Star Wars. And following the tremendous success of ‘The Mandalorian,’ these styles take the fandom to another level.

Quick! Think of the three cutest things you’ve ever seen. Most likely, two of them will involve an animal — maybe that raccoon whose cotton candy dissolved or the most adorable quokka ever caught on camera — but no doubt the third is Baby Yoda.

Made famous in the Disney series “The Mandalorian,” this cuddly twist on the iconic Star Wars character won over the internet. So it should be no surprise that Columbia drew inspiration for its latest apparel collaboration from that adorable little … whatever it is.

But as in years past, The Mandalorian collection includes more than just a single outerwear homage. The eponymous masked crusader (Din Djarin, for those not in the know) also has his own gear. If history is any indicator, these limited-edition items will sell out fast — so pick out what you like now.

The Mandalorian collection includes five pieces — three that nod to Din Djarin’s outfit and two from Baby Yoda.

This jacket-vest combo can be worn separately or together. Based on the Mandalorian’s armor, the Interchange Hybrid Jacket has canvas and softshell construction, lightweight insulation, and Columbia’s Omni-Heat 3D reflective lining.

Cover up your face and keep your identity a mystery with the helmet-inspired gaiter. Made from water-resistant fabric, fleece lining, and stretchy softshell fabric, the Mandalorian Helmet Gaiter also has surprises for superfans. Find a coded message written in Mando’a on the fleece lining and a Mudhorn signet on the back label.

Speaking of superfans, this plush hoodie — another nod to Djarin’s armor — also sports a coded Mando’a message.

Omni-Heat reflective lining and soft Sherpa fleece add some technical hits to this youth jacket. But the real story here (obviously) is the hood with totes-adorbs ears. And if that makes your kiddo feel a little too flashy, those head wings are stowable.

Take that Baby Yoda look to the next level with this microfleece onesie for infants. And, again, those ears!

Don’t pretend you’re not hooked. The Mandalorian collection will be available for purchase at 12:01 a.m. EST on Dec. 4 and select Columbia-branded retail locations in the U.S. Learn more and get your own fan favorite here.
