He always looks good, doesn't he? Gets his suits made at #1 Savile Row, it turns out.
Coincidentally, I communicated with another bespoke shop on Savile Row last week on the topic of 12-13" tailor's shears, after reading in their shop that the shears have been handed down from cutter to new-cutter when they retired. Those must be some kind of shears, I'm thinking. Wiss? Wilkinson? Mundial? Gingher? Kai? What?
Turns out there was no stamp at all on them!
But they volunteered they had another pair of US made oldies that hadn't been sharpened in 15 YEARS of daily use in their tailor shop!
Set me to thinking: They probably cut just wool and cotton, and maybe some wool/poly blend, and probably not any polar fleece or synthetics. What is your experience for sharpening intervals with natural fabrics with your faborite shears? Just curious. JPBill
