Being a huge sci-fi geek, I was absolutely frothing when I first laid eyes on the Marc Ecko X Wing hoodies. Unlike previous ventures into [sci-fi mash-up clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dark-knight-collection), the company makes these sweaters in the likeness of a Rebel Alliance fighter pilot. Nerds rejoice!

If you have ever dreamed to style out in the same fashion as a Rebel Alliance fighter pilot, the latest release of the Marc Ecko X Wing hoodies will fulfill that dream. The hoodies feature a bright orange colorway with white accents and black trim, as well as the Rebel Alliance insignia. The sweater has a zip-front with a hood that doubles as an X Wing helmet.

Tap into the force with this dapper hoodie, or simply impress your friends with some Skywalker swag.
