Japanese term or phrase: 「手刺1分2厘垂にもかわらず、柔らかく仕上がっております」
I get the "...垂にもかわらず、柔らかく仕上がっております" part, but I have no idea how to translate "手刺1分2厘" into English... it's about a Kendo "tare." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's a link to the actual product, maybe it will help: http://item.rakuten.co.jp/e-bogu/woo-ken-bog-mq10tare/

One rin is one tenth of a bu (and one hundredth of a shaku).

Kendo specialists refer to a bu as a bu. Here, you'll be better off with 1.2 bu.
