The best way is to measure the meat measurement. Without that option, once the cape is tanned slide your arms inside it and stretch it out. Then make sure the hair edges are lined up. Stick a ruler inside and measure. First measure right below the ear butts, then three inches down. Use those to measurements and the eye to nose. You will not have a problem this way. If your cape is cut all the way down the back. Just lay it hair side down, stretch it out and measure in those same spots.
