What is Hero Within?
We are a fashion brand that blends sophisticated style with pop culture. We intergrate your favorite pop culture icons into the construction of each piece to create a never before scene fashion product. Learn more about us!
What makes Hero Within different from other geek brands?
Inspired by the heroes of various pop culture universes, our apparel is an authentic and creative expression of each character. We integrate the spirit of each character into the construction of our apparel. This means we use cleverly designed seams instead of screen printing, stitching embroidery or patches. The brand and the coat are one- not just applied as an afterthought. This innovative approach creates a subtle yet empowering experience for the wearer. We also use the highest quality material with a great attention to detail. Your Hero Within product are made to last.
Where can I see your product in person?
Our collection as a whole or part will be at various shows and events throughout the year. Here is a list of which Comic Cons we'll be at. We are also partners with brick & mortar stores like Box Lunch. Best place to stay updated is by signing up for our newsletter (bottom) or by checking out our Blog section.
What is your Return Policy?

Who makes your clothes?
Our manufacturers in California, the Middle-East and Asia. We ship out from the LA area. We only partner with ethically produced factories that offer safe environments and fair wages.
Will you offer big and tall?
We would certainly like to. Because of your feedback, we recently added 3X, 4X and 5X to our most recent inventory. We are hoping to continue to offer even more options soon.
Why is there variation in your product photos?
Photos have been taken in various states of development of each product. Some have been enhanced digitally so to see the distinct detailing. So there will be some minor differences but the overall product will not change.
If an item is 'sold out' how can I get it later?
Make sure to submit an email on the sold out page. We place you on a wait list and will follow up with you on when to expect the item. There is also a Low Stock warning which lets you know when we are down to our final few pieces in a certain size.
How secure is your site?
Hero Within is hosted on Shopify, one of the most successful and secure online shopping platforms in the world. We are also SSL Certified and PCI Compliant (this means we're legit!). Your information could not be more secure even if it were kept in the Batcave.
Will you be creating more than coats and outerwear?
Absolutely. We've already expanded to woven shirts, t-shirts, jeans and sweaters- and this is just the beginning!

Hero Within has gone through the approval process with these parent companies (Disney, Warner Bro and Paramount) to utilize the characters and logos for our apparel line.
How are your products made?
