Experience a refined take on everyday utility with the Vintage Edition Micro Tape Measure, where precision craftsmanship meets timeless materials. Inspired by the original Ti-Tape micro-sized titanium design, this special edition retains the exact compact form while introducing a choice of beautifully finished tellurium copper or solid brass, each bringing a distinct character and warmth to the tool.
Slightly larger than a U.S. quarter, the Vintage Edition is engineered for effortless everyday carry. Its remarkably compact profile allows it to disappear on a keychain or rest unobtrusively in a pocket, yet the solid metal housing gives it a reassuring weight and durability that far surpasses typical plastic tape measures. The result is a measuring tool that feels as enduring as it looks.
Designed with both function and longevity in mind, the Vintage Edition includes a removable keychain clip, allowing it to attach seamlessly to your keys, bag, or gear so it’s always within reach when needed. Inside, a user-replaceable 3-foot measuring tape ensures a bent or damaged tape can be refreshed over time, extending its lifespan far beyond that of conventional portable tape measures.
Throughout the day, its usefulness reveals itself in subtle ways. Measuring a piece of furniture while browsing a store, checking dimensions on a project, or verifying a quick fit during design work becomes effortless when a tape measure is always within reach. Whether used by professionals such as carpenters, engineers, and designers, or simply by those who appreciate well-made tools, it transforms a common task into a smoother experience.
The warm metallic finish and vintage-inspired aesthetic bring an understated elegance to an otherwise utilitarian object. It’s a small tool, thoughtfully designed — built not only to measure with precision, but to age beautifully as part of your everyday carry.

While highly corrosion resistant, both copper and brass are considered to have a “living finish,” designed to evolve over time. When exposed to the elements, the surface will naturally oxidize, developing a patina that adds depth and character. This transformation can range from subtle tonal shifts to more pronounced aging, depending on use and environment.
For those who appreciate a more vintage aesthetic, simply use the tool as intended and allow it to develop a unique, personal finish over time. The material will gradually deepen in tone, creating a look that feels both timeless and individual.
If a brighter, more polished appearance is preferred, the surface can be easily restored at any time. A small amount of polish — such as Wright’s Copper Cream — applied with a soft cloth using a light circular motion will effectively remove oxidation. No pressure is required; the material responds easily, revealing a clean, bright finish with minimal effort.
A finish that adapts to your preference, whether you choose to let it age gracefully or maintain its original brilliance.
