TAILORED SOCIETY Where craft becomes character
Written by Jeffrey Cohen / Photographed by Dave Pluimer / Styled by Sallie Lord It was one of those perfect autumn afternoons—the kind that makes you grateful to live in Indiana, where Main Street still feels like Main Street. The leaves had just begun to turn along the brick-paved stretch in Carmel’s Arts & Design District when I stepped through the door of Tailored Society. I’d heard murmurs about this bespoke clothier, but nothing quite prepared me for what awaited inside. Imagine a private club where fine whiskey mingles with the scent of leather, conversation hums softly under the glow of warm brass fixtures, and somewhere, Sinatra’s timeless voice floats through the air, as effortlessly stylish as the suits around you. That’s Tailored Society. Though it looks and feels like a gentlemen’s lounge, it is, in fact, a haberdashery—albeit one so beautifully executed that you half expect someone to offer you a cigar and your preferred seat by the fire.
