Any one use metric in your kilt making ?

Thinking about it, though - my hand is 4 inches or 10 cm across the palm, 3 inches across the knuckles, from the tip of my thumb to shoulder point is a yard, elbow to middle fingertip is 1/2 a yard - fingertip to shoulder point is a metre. I do tend to use them when checking fabric lengths.
