What does caliber [cl] measure?

Caliber [cl] primarily measures the internal bore diameter of firearms and artillery or expresses barrel length as a multiple of the bore diameter.

Is finger (cloth) a standardized unit?

No, finger (cloth) is a traditional and informal unit based on the breadth of a human finger, varying by person and context.

Can I use this conversion for precise tailoring?

No, due to the variability and informal nature of finger (cloth), this conversion is not suitable for precision tailoring or engineering.
