Handcrafted for You

The Rush Process

A Tradition of Handwork


Handcrafted Garments for Time-Sensitive Moments

While Tailored Society is built upon the intention, patience, and artistry of true bespoke tailoring, we recognize that certain moments in a gentleman’s life require a garment on a condensed timeline. The Rush Process exists solely for these occasions — when an event approaches quickly, when calendars shift unexpectedly, or when a refined, well-fitted garment is needed in a matter of weeks rather than months. 

This offering maintains our commitment to thoughtful service and refined presentation while honoring a strict turnaround of approximately three weeks.

The Introduction Call

Every rush commission begins with a warm and courteous conversation to understand the client’s needs, event details, and timeline expectations. During this conversation, we explain exactly how the Rush Process differs from our bespoke offering, discuss fabric limitations tied to expedited production, and clarify the investment. This call ensures that both the client and our team are aligned in purpose, expectations, and timing before moving forward. 

1

The Accelerated Studio Appointment

Once the client confirms that the Rush Process aligns with their needs, we invite them into our appointment-only studio for a focused and intentional design session. Although the timeline is compressed, the atmosphere remains elevated. Clients are welcomed with curated cocktails and libations as they settle into a refined environment that sets the tone for thoughtful decision-making. 

During this appointment, we discuss the garment’s purpose, styling, aesthetic direction, and functional requirements. We take precise measurements and observe posture, shoulder balance, stance, and other details that influence fit. While the Rush Process does not involve a hand-drafted pattern, these observations inform the adjustments we make to the existing made-to-measure pattern to ensure a refined outcome. The appointment concludes with all fabric and design decisions finalized, allowing production to begin immediately.

Fabric Selection From Approved Mills

Because the Rush Process operates on a strict three-week delivery timeline, fabric selection must come from mills that can ship cloth immediately. These curated fabrics are of excellent quality but represent a smaller selection compared to our full bespoke library. By working exclusively with mills that support expedited delivery, we eliminate the risk of delays and ensure that the garment can be produced without compromise to the timeline. 

Clients still receive guidance and education through this part of the process — discussing weight, drape, composition, and character — but within a specialized subset of fabrics capable of meeting the schedule.

Garment Creation Through Made-to-Measure

Unlike our bespoke garments, which begin with a hand-drafted pattern and evolve through multiple fittings and extensive handwork, the Rush Process uses a made-to-measure garment that is created through precision machine construction. This approach allows us to maintain quality while meeting the accelerated timeline. 

Once measurements and design choices are finalized, the garment moves directly into production without a baste fitting or intermediate stages. The tailoring partners who create our rush garments operate with speed, accuracy, and consistency, enabling us to deliver a refined garment in approximately three weeks. 

The Rush Process is not bespoke — and is never presented as such. It is a thoughtful, time-conscious alternative designed specifically for urgent needs.

The Final Fitting & In-House Refinements

When the garment arrives at our studio, the client returns for a fitting. Although the garment is machine-made, we refine the fit with the same care and attention expected from Tailored Society. Our in-house tailor performs necessary adjustments, which may include shaping, sleeve length adjustments, trouser hemming, waist refinement, or subtle balance corrections where possible. 

These thoughtful final touches ensure the garment looks polished, feels comfortable, and presents the client with confidence — even when created under a compressed timeline.

Zach and Wade go above and beyond every time you are with them. There knowledge is unparalleled and you never feel pressured during the process. As someone that doesn’t need to dress up all the time, it is important to me to have garments that will hold up over time from both a style and durability standpoint, and Tailored Society does just that!

The gentlemen at tailored society are true masters of their craft. Zach and Wade’s extensive knowledge of style and the business behind it really guided me through the process and helped create a suit that is everything I needed. They were able to meet every request I had and even fit it into a quicker than usual timeframe to meet my needs. It’s clear that they focus on delivering a top of the line product but also an experience and community. My suit is really perfect for me and the type of garment that you dream of. I can’t speak highly enough.

Wade has provided excellent service in the 4 years I’ve done business with Tailored Society. Its storefront in Carmel is a neat place to hang and check their offerings. I’d recommend TS to anyone looking for a neat experience and quality threads.

My wife wanted to give me something unique for Christmas, so she arranged for a custom jacket that ultimately became a custom suit. What I expected to be a simple fitting turned into an exceptional experience. Wade and Zachary took the time to learn about my personality, wardrobe, and style; explain the history and craftsmanship behind the fabrics; and guide me through every detail of the design process. Their knowledge, craftsmanship, passion, and attention to detail are second to none. The final product fits perfectly, but the experience itself was just as impressive. If you're looking for more than just a suit and want something truly tailored to you, I highly recommend Tailored Society. I look forward to continuing our relationship for years to come.

I've been working with The Tailored Society for five years now, and I get compliments on my suiting constantly. Over that time they've made me suits, a tux, custom pants, shirts, you name it. Every piece fits like it was meant for me, because it was. What sets them apart is the details. The linings, the buttons, the little touches you don't notice until someone else does. That's where their work really comes to life. Zach and Wade are the best in the business. They take the time to understand your style and then elevate it. Five years in, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I had my wedding suit made here and I'll gladly come back if I ever need another suit. This was the first time I had a custom suit made and at first I thought the process was going to be daunting and uninteresting. But I found the exact opposite to be true, it ended up being a fun experience. Something I didn't expect to say going into this. Zach and Wade were both a big part in making it fun and they both went beyond what I would have expected. Could not recommend this place anymore if you are in need of a custom suit.

I had my wedding tuxedo made at Tailored Society—a classic black tux with a double-breasted vest—and was really pleased with the experience. Zach and Wade were friendly, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish. They even managed to fit me into a slightly accelerated schedule and handled some last-minute alterations without any hassle, which made a big difference with the wedding timeline. The final result looked sharp and fit beautifully. It’s a premium experience, so plan accordingly on the budget side, but the quality and attention to detail were clearly there. Overall, a top notch choice if you’re looking for a well-made custom suit or tuxedo.

I had the pleasure of working with Tailored Society to get my first tailored suit for my wedding. The entire process was extremely personable while simultaneously holding a great deal of class. From personalizing everything from the fabric to personal fit preferences, they heard me out every step of the way while providing their professional guidance to aid in my decisions. Their passion for their craft greatly assisted in receiving a priceless product in the end. If you want to ensure your next suit will be tailored to your exact style and bring along a great amount of confidence, you’ve found the right spot. Cannot recommend enough!

Great experience!
What Makes Us Unique

When the Rush Process Should Be Used

The Rush Process is intended only for moments when time is the defining factor. It is not a substitute for bespoke tailoring, nor is it offered as a standard alternative. Instead, it exists for special situations requiring urgency: an unexpected event, a rapidly approaching wedding, a sudden formal requirement, or any instance where a gentleman needs a refined garment in a matter of weeks. 

While this process produces an exceptional made-to-measure garment, it does not replicate the artistry, handwork, or sculpted fit of true bespoke. Rather, it offers a thoughtful, efficient solution that upholds Tailored Society’s standards of professionalism, guidance, and presentation.

A Final Note on Craft & Intention

The Rush Process serves the timeline. 

Bespoke serves the man. 

Both are executed with intention — but each fulfills a different purpose. When time permits, bespoke remains the pinnacle of craftsmanship. When time does not, the Rush Process ensures that a gentleman never has to sacrifice refinement, confidence, or elegance.
