Designed for professional tailoring, these classic tailor’s shears feature the patented sidebent design, first developed by Thomas Wilkinson in 1800 and incorporated into Whiteley’s shears after acquiring Wilkinson’s business in 1875. The full chrome plating provides enhanced durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring these shears remain in pristine condition for years to come, even with regular use.

The Big Bolt allows for quick pick-up and smooth put-down – ideal for cutting large pieces of fabric with ease. The ergonomic handles with a thumb rest provide long-lasting comfort and reduce hand fatigue during extended use.
