I was working on modifying my Ion and after adding some pockets I wanted to add an extension collar. I am probably over thinking it, but how to actually do it has me a bit stumped. The problem i am having is with the circumference measurement. Any tips on how to get it exact would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
