Regarding the aimed length of the cape, which in reality is actually a half poncho intended to be worn across the chest in the rain/weather, I want to further reference another suit that was specifically made by Joe Johnson, and as such shows very similar build traits overall
That being PP1
For PP1 they cut the poncho to end just above the knee pads when worn. And it is my belief that Joe cut the ESB poncho to be roughly the same length. And ESB’s weathering patterns on the shins being heavy up until above the knees would seem to possibly also support this.
For my tent halves I originally ended up with a size of 31.5” x 45” and 28” x 44” while trying to preserve the most material from both panels of the pup tent. But after setting up the MinuteFett lineage armor on my 6’0 mannequin as an actual test, Ive decided to cut the length down to 40” long, which gets the effect of the poncho ending just above the kneepads.
Given this, I think that a more realistic target of 30” x 40” is probably what was likely aimed for on the original ponchos/capes, possibly across all the suits, and Im pretty happy with this now
