Columbia Star Wars Outer Rim Collection: Gone Sithin’

There are probably a dozen Star Wars collaborations available at any given moment, but this one from Columbia is low-key bizarre yet still desirable. First off, the Outer Rim collection features Star Wars characters integrated into a line of shirts from Columbia’s Performance Fishing Gear (PFG) line. Second, the print on the shirts depicts tropical leaves, which hide not just the heroic X-Wing and Millennium Falcon, but also stormtroopers, TIE fighters, and Darth Vader himself. Kinda ominous don’t you think? Also, where are the Mon Calamari?!

As with other PFG apparel, these shirts feature lightweight fabric with rear ventilation, anti-UV treatment, and, er, a rod holder. Whatever, it works and I’m down for it. You can order the shirts from Columbia right now. The adult male shirt costs $65 (USD), the adult female sleeveless top goes for $60, and the unisex children’s shirt is priced at $45.

Japanese Stormtrooper Hawaiian Shirt Can’t Hit the Hamper

Hawaiian shirts are a staple for guys with questionable taste in clothing. With summer here, that means more and more folks will be pulling this type of shirt out of the closet and going on vacation. If you feel obliged to wear a Hawaiian shirt, at least make it a cool one.

This is a Japanese-inspired Stormtrooper Hawaiian shirt. In addition to the obvious stormtrooper print, the buttons have Imperial logos on them. It’s made out of lightweight fabric so it should be cool.

This is the coolest geek shirt you can get hands on this summer, and you can get yours at ThinkGeek for $19.99(USD).

The only problem I foresee is that the shirt will never hit the laundry hamper when you throw it.
