Individual Icons has been making these unique bracelets for a while now but they are still hot! Available in several varieties (thick, thin, US inches, metric). This is a great and unexpected use of a common item. Its brilliant!

Eco friendly, simple but eye catching.
I think this would be great for the guys as well as the girls.
Nice to see something besides ties & socks for the men on our shoping lists!

Good idea. And it solves the problem of never having a ruler when you need one. (via The Mut)

a cool accessory for us guys that really measures up! (no pun intended)

it can be very useful when you need to measure certain things too

Ah, the metric system. I'm familiar with you through science, but don't really know you. But maybe if I had it with me all the time I'd start thinking in metric instead of converting all the time. Whether it's useful or not, it has that science chic going for it that I like.

I just simply love when something from the everyday turns into something special. This is what happens with the ruler cuff, it's a ruler and it's a cuff, and that's all. Simple, yet beautiful and surprising. Loveable.

This bracelet is made out of high grade stainless steel. Inches are etched on the outside and metric markings are on the inside. It's only available in one size though it's hard to find, allways out of stock! :(

just kinda cool
