3.5mm and 1/8 inch are now the same thing - one place calls them 3.5mm
while others use the 1/8 inch designation for the same thing.
Yes, it was not always so, but that was well before stereo plugs and
jacks came into existence.
The big issue now is manufacturing tolerances that might mean some jack
and plug combinations are tight while other combinations may appear to
be sloppy.
1/4 inch plugs and jacks are more tolerant of sloppy tolerances i.e +/-
0.01 mm compared to 3.5mm is much greater than +/- 0.01 mm compared to 7
mm (or is it 8mm?).

I think mine are 3.5 mm, I don't have a metric stick handy right now,
they work fine. If it becomes a big issue, I'll get the micrometer
out tomorrow.
