These fabric shears feature the innovative sidebent design, first patented by Thomas Wilkinson in 1800, which was integrated into Whiteley’s designs after acquiring Wilkinson’s business in 1875. This fusion of Wilkinson's revolutionary design and Whiteley's world-renowned craftsmanship ensures smooth, uninterrupted cuts, allowing the shears to rest flat against the tabletop and preventing the bottom bow from catching on the surface.

Ideal for dressmakers and tailors who need long, clean lines, these fabric shears are built for precision and comfort. Each pair is meticulously crafted with over two centuries of scissor-making heritage, ensuring exceptional durability and reliability. These shears are a true testament to enduring quality and craftsmanship.
