So I am 6’3”
I order an EE Convert cutom in Apex. I ordered 30 degree. XWide and Long. Showed up within 5 weeks.
The EE specs say it should be 84 long, 70 wide at the top and 42 wide at the bottom.
Convert – Enlightened Equipment
My actual quilt is about 78-79 long and 70/42 lying flat on the ground.
I contacted EE CS. They were quick to respond to email. They say the dimensions don’t take into account fill (they are based on raw fabric cut). So I have to stretch the quilt to measure properly and if I do that it comes to about 83 inches.
I based my order in part on the length of my current mummy thinking I could pull the extra length over my head as a sort of hood. Given the actual length of the quilt, that just barely works and not well.
So - question for you EE owners -are your quilts true to dimensions or are they short when measured without stretch? Are they true when stretched?
It is just odd to me that the widths are spot on and the length is off so much and happens to be the same length as a regular is advertised at ~78 inches.
