I was looking for a small #EDC tape measure that I could just throw in my pocket and when I saw Stanley’s 175th Anniversary tape measure I knew it was exactly what I was looking for with one exception…it lacked any leather, so I went about fixing that by wet forming leather around it and then connecting the two sides with the corset stitch. I couldn’t be happier with the result!
