Klasse Tailoring Shears Scissors Heavy Duty All Metal 280mm (11"inch) - BK1111

Klasse Tailoring Shears Scissors Heavy Duty All Metal 280mm (11"inch) - BK1111

The Klasse BK1111 are 280mm (11 inch) heavy duty all-metal tailoring shears — the largest and most substantial scissors in the Klasse range at EzyShop, and the tool at the professional end of the sewing room cutting kit. At 11 inches these are proper tailoring shears in the traditional sense: long-bladed, all-metal, built for the demanding cutting work of structured garment making, professional fabric cutting and sustained heavy-duty use that a standard dressmaking scissors is not designed to absorb.

11 INCHES: WHY BLADE LENGTH MATTERS AT THIS SCALE

A longer blade does more work per stroke. At 280mm, a single closing of the blades cuts significantly more fabric than a 215mm or 240mm scissors covers in the same motion, which matters when cutting long straight lines through suiting fabric, laying up and cutting multiple fabric layers for batch production, or working through the coat-weight and interfacing layers of a structured tailored garment. The momentum of a longer, heavier blade also carries through resistant fabric more cleanly than a shorter blade that may stall or deflect mid-cut. For professional tailors, garment industry workers and serious home sewers who produce structured garments regularly, the 11 inch length is the standard working size — not an oversize tool, but the appropriate tool for the work.

TAILORING VERSUS DRESSMAKING

The distinction between tailoring shears and dressmaking scissors matters at this size. Dressmaking covers the broad range of garment construction; tailoring refers specifically to structured garments — suits, jackets, waistcoats, tailored trousers and coats — where the cutting work involves heavier base fabrics, multiple interfacing layers, canvas and fusible interlinings, and precise cut lines that the finished garment depends on for its shape and structure. Tailoring shears are designed to handle this combination consistently: the blade length covers the long straight cuts that structured pattern pieces require, and the heavy duty all-metal construction handles the resistance of multiple dense layers without deflecting or fatiguing.

ALL-METAL HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION

The all-metal build — the same construction approach as the Klasse all-metal pinking shears (SKU BK1901) and the rose gold heavy duty dressmaking scissors (SKU BK1208) — gives these shears the rigidity and durability that professional cutting demands. No plastic components means no flex in the handle under pressure, no stress cracking from repeated hard use cycles, and no mismatch between the strength of the blade and the strength of the handle. At 280mm and all-metal, these shears have real weight — which at this size is an advantage, carrying momentum through resistant fabric rather than requiring the hand to do all the work.
