ABSTRACT:
A tape measure device by which a salesperson can obtain a direct outseam measurement to be used by a tailor in shortening the legs of pants or slacks without having to take an inseam measurement. The device has a rigid tab at one end on which a standing customer being measured places her or his shoe heel. The salesperson then extends the tape to the customers waistband and reads the outseam measurement at that point which can be used to shorten the legs of the garment with the hems of the legs being at the desired predetermined height. By providing another rigid tab on the opposite end and placing additional indicia on the opposite side of the tape the utility of the device can be expanded to making other body measurements.
