Soft Tape Measure
Also known as
Cloth Tape, Tailor's Tape, Flexible Tape, Seamstress Tape
Used for
Measuring around curved or irregular objects — cable circumferences, round speaker cabinets, columns, and performers' measurements for custom-fit mic rigs. The flexible fabric or vinyl body conforms to contours a rigid steel tape cannot follow.
Trade note
Sometimes called a tailor's tape from its origins in garment-making. On a production it earns its place for measuring speaker cones, round truss sections, cable looms, and costume fittings for mic packs.
