The tailor and their shears

There can be few working relationships closer than that between a tailor and their shears. Each day, the shears serve as an extension of the tailor’s arm and mind, making hundreds of millimetre-perfect cuts to create garments that fit the client’s measurements exactly. Whenever we talk to passionate tailors, we hear about this symbiosis between the craftsperson and the tool of their trade.

For left-handed tailors, finding the perfect shears can be relatively challenging. Professional tailor shears are a highly specialised product to begin with – and left-handed shears are even more so, as they require a design that’s mechanically opposite to the equivalent right-handed shears, in order to work correctly. For many scissors-makers, producing that special version of a special type of shears proves to be economically unviable, so left-handed tailors end up underserved.

This is why we’re especially proud to offer a pattern of 10″ Tailor Shears for left-handed users. The pattern offers exactly the same qualities as its right-handed counterpart. The only difference is that they work in the left hand, not the right.

A nice bonus, for left-handed tailors, is that you’re less likely to have colleagues borrow your shears (without asking!) for odd jobs around the workshop. A tailor and their shears should never be parted!
