What does finger (cloth) measure?

Finger (cloth) is a traditional, informal length unit based on the breadth of a human finger, used mainly in tailoring and textile work for small measurements.

Can I use this conversion for precise scientific measurements?

No, due to the variability in both league and finger (cloth) units, this conversion is approximate and not suitable for precise scientific or engineering use.
