I photographed the tape. Metric measurements highlighted in red are already disappearing/deleting. The band itself is quite thin. I'm a floorer and we measure metric and standard floors. I was looking for a band that was over 26 feet. This is the only one I've found in the 3 or 4 months I've been looking for. The customs markings are also in an odd place. I hope you can see it in the picture. The tape measure is lightweight, so if you wear it on your hip all day it won't hurt you much.
