If you paid for an 18" neck then it's up to them to supply that measurement. As long as you have proof of it being marked 15 1/2" he needs to replace it. Why should you have to spend more money for a manikin.
But if it's an 18" and the wet tan is a bit of a dry tan and I've seen this, it may need to be relaxed. Try spraying a bit of warm water, cap full of downey and bit of salt onto the cape.
