Invert cape once tanned and rehydrated. Stretch it out, lay flat and measure across cape below ears and double it for your neck size. Eye to nose measure the same way.

when you measure nose to base of tail, don't stretch it too far. coyote skins can stretch quite a bit. just loosen it up a bit and lay it on its side and measure it. If you are real lost on length, you may have to go with an "average" length if there is such a thing.

good luck,

JT
