Thanks for posting this.

I'm going to have to change my VPN just for this...
Jokes aside this is a pretty good video. I have been looking at Ernest Wrights 13" tailoring shears for a few days now and am looking forward to purchasing that item at some point.

This is the one I'm talking about. Looks like their back in stock!

A tailor I follow on X recently took possession of a pair and posted a snap. He looked like the cat that got the cream ... and then some!

I started thinking about buying a pair a few weeks ago when I accidentally brought my blades down on a pin, hidden from view. It caused my shears to close awkwardly at one point. Thankfully, it was only a minor ding and constant use has corrected things. One day I will pull the trigger on a pair, though. I'll run my cheap shears into the ground first (they're still sharp, just a little short for my liking).

Is it ok if you could link the tailor's X account Gerry? I always like to have a peep  on fellow tailors!

Same over here, almost a year ago I purchased a Kretzer 10" tailor shears on Wawak, and they work perfectly— though I did wish I got the 12" instead of the 10", but Wright's shears looks classy and I like it (also a bit longer as well!).

My first scissors were 12 inch Kretzers. Still very nice.

Hot Drop Forged I think the Swedes invented this method. But I'm not sure. Some mountaineering metal equipment is made this way. Their life sometimes is dangling from it.
Those are very nice Shears.

Yes thanks Gerry! I remember seeing a couple interviews and articles on him, he has an interesting story.
Much appreciated!
