Product description
Tailor's shears in five lengths: choose the blade that suits the job
Professional tailor's shears with a hardened steel blade and ergonomic handles, in five lengths: 8 in. (20 cm), 9 in. (23 cm), 10 in. (25.5 cm), 11 in. (28 cm) and 12 in. (30 cm). The black handles are available in all five lengths, and the red ones in 10, 11 and 12 in.
An identical structure in all lengths (a strong joint screw, a long blade and a raised handle) lets you choose by the job: a short length for control on curves, and a long length for cutting straight lines, thick fabrics and layers. The scissors come in a box.

How to choose a length
8–9 in. (20–23 cm): Light and comfortable for curves and small hands
10 in. (25.5 cm): The common length for cutting whole patterns
11–12 in. (28–30 cm): For long lines, thick fabrics and layers
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Choosing a length that is too long for delicate work: A long blade is less precise in small corners
Cutting paper with the fabric scissors: Dulls the blade
Damp or open storage: Wipe and store closed and dry
Which length to choose: a short guide by type of work
8 in. (20 cm): Curves, children's clothing, necklines and armholes, and small hands
9 in. (23 cm): A middle length for varied home sewing
10 in. (25.5 cm): The common length for cutting whole patterns of adult clothing
11 in. (28 cm): Thick fabrics, denim and coats, and cutting two layers
12 in. (30 cm): Long straight lines, curtains and upholstery fabrics, and work on a large cutting table
The longer the scissors, the heavier they are too. Someone who cuts for hours at a stretch will feel the difference, so in a studio it is convenient to keep a long length for patterns and a short length for details.
