Heavy tailor shears were an essential tool for cutting wool, cotton, and other fabrics with precision. Their long blades and angled handles allowed tailors to make smooth cuts while keeping the fabric flat on the worktable. Well-made shears were a significant investment and often remained in daily use for decades. Loan from the Baltimore Museum of Industry.Exhibition
