It seems most boys grew up wishing they could be Han Solo (or Indiana Jones, or perhaps just Harrison Ford himself), and that fantasy can now be something of a reality with Matchless’s Star Wars Capsule Collection. The collection includes, in addition to a “Tie Fighter” jacket, a lovingly detailed replica of Han Solo’s brown leather jacket from The Force Awakens. No matter your feelings on Star Wars, nobody can deny that Han Solo is as charismatic and stylish in his old age as he was as a virile young man — the leather jacket proves it.
Of course, this isn’t a simple costume piece for a weekend convention. At over $1500 USD, this iconic piece of clothing will only be within the grasps of particularly ardent and affluent Star Wars fans. However, buyers can rest assured that they won’t be getting a cheap knock-off. Matchless has ensured that the jacket precisely matches Han Solo’s original jacket, down to the unique and creative pockets on the front. The material is high quality, smooth leather with a vintage look. Features include a slim fit (to show off your galaxy gallivanting physique), a two-way zipper, soft viscose lining, a hidden inner pocket (for concealing a blaster, perhaps?), and a rakish wind guard with magnetic closures. Zip yourself into this thing, and you’ll feel ready to pilot the Millennium Falcon.
