Key Measurement Tips
Width Measurement
Measure the widest point of the carcass (typically at the shoulder or hip). Add 5-10 cm for comfortable fitting without stretching the material.
Length Measurement
Measure from the neck to the tail. Add 15-20 cm extra for proper closure and tying at both ends.
Material Considerations
- Cotton stockinette: Best for short-term storage, provides excellent breathability
- Polyester stockinette: Ideal for transport and longer storage, more durable
- Blended materials: Combine benefits of both for versatile applications
