The cubit is still used as a unit of measurement by some, such as those who wear great kilts. A great kilt is eight yards of fabric that must be properly folded so it can fit around the body each time it is worn. Each fold is one cubit wide. Since the length of a cubit varies with each individual, the width of the folds can be adjusted to the individual's size.
Great kilts aren't worn very often these days, but can find men wearing them at Renaissance festivals.
