I've got a professionally tanned cape that I want to sell. I don't have the neck measurements. I did tape the neck at the ears ON THE DRY SKIN and it was right at 16". Any good guesses at what this will stretch out to after rehydration? Thanks.

Jim, It really is a guess not seeing the cape but generaly I would say 19-20". You can get a better guess yourself by stretching it dry and remeasuring----say it increases 2", add that much again and it should be real close. This all is dependent on the quality of the tan and especially how thin the cape has been shaved. Not much help I guess but my opinion-enjoy, Aaron H.
and find out for yourself. Some folks won't touch it unless you sell it cheap. It may be 18" or so.
