Whether you're sewing a garment, measuring a quilt, fitting upholstery, or checking the size of a flea market find, a flexible tape measure is one of those tools that's endlessly useful—and remarkably easy to misplace.
Each order includes one functional 60" (150 cm) flexible measuring tape, selected from a large assortment of vintage fiberglass sewing tapes.
Photos show examples from the collection you'll be receiving from—not the exact tape you'll receive.
Every tape is checked to ensure it's flexible and usable before shipping. Manufacturers, colors, printing styles, and signs of honest use will naturally vary. Most feature inch measurements; many also include centimeters on the reverse.
Perfect for:
- Sewing & alterations
- Quilting
- Knitting & crochet
- Upholstery
- Costume design
- Craft projects
- Estate sales, flea markets & antiquing
- Keeping in a toolbox, studio, or travel kit
Like everything at Junket, these measuring tapes are being given another opportunity to be useful. Offering thoughtfully sorted quantities of secondhand tools helps extend the life of existing resources while making them accessible to more makers, repairers, and curious collectors.
Your order will be packed entirely in secondhand shipping materials and shipped by ground.
Thanks for helping put remarkable old things back to work.

Shipping
The Fine Print• 100% secondhand packaging
• intentionally slow in-house service levels
• ground shipping only
This is climate-competent commerce, and we talk a bit more about each of these strategies on our 'official' shipping policy page:
-
Proactive Satisfaction + Refunds
Refund policyWe have adopted a 'generally generous' approach to fulfilling many of our product listings, as sending a wee bit extra can avoid costly errors & 'fix it' shipments (besides, we find most folks appreciate the occasional freebie).
.
That said, if you would prefer to avoid the extras, we will gladly rightsize or downsize your order on request (product price would remain the same because more labor + less product = wash). If you prefer this option, please include a detailed order note to specify the quantity you wish to recieve (i.e. 'please send precise count of 7 for XYZ product').
.
As a rule, we discourage returns - but we also don't abide crappy customer experiences. To initiate issue resolution in the event that we miss the boat with your order (gaps happen!), head to our refund policy page (linked here - and at the bottom of any page) to get started.
