About the Sample Program

SNAPSHOT

  • 2-3 fittings if you’re local in Seattle, we’ll coordinate individually if you’re out of town

  • Estimated turnaround of final product is 6 weeks from 1st fitting

PROCESS

  1. DESIGN KICKOFF - Once you’ve made your deposit, we’ll reach out to schedule a Design Kickoff where we confirm the design of your custom jacket and take measurements. This can be in person or via Zoom and can happen during the months we’re sold out. For example, your design kickoff might happen in April or May but your fittings will happen when we have capacity for production, currently June.

  2. 1st FITTING - Your first fitting will be in a mockup of the design which may not be in the final fabrics.

  3. 2nd FITTING - Your second fitting will be in the final fabrics but not all the way completed.

  4. 3rd FITTING - We may require a third fitting.

  5. PICK UP - Once fittings are complete, you can pick up your House of Daggers coat!

BACKGROUND

Katrina Hess, owner of House of Daggers, has been making custom outerwear and costumes since 2010. Having dressed hundreds of bodies and personalities, creating garments that fit well is the driving force in her craftsmanship and House of Daggers’ product development process. The Sample Program is making this goal a reality.

Samples are fully finished garments that allow us to test our designs on a variety of bodies. Each sample is handcrafted and made to order with your exact measurements.

Our hope is that you will love the craftsmanship so much you will become a brand ambassador. Should you participate in our Sample Program, we may contact you about sharing photos and videos of you wearing our pieces with your network, and on our social media channels.
