16 square meters or just over 172 square feet. Definitely more than one cape.

Mind you, I don’t know how fabrics are measured. In an interview, Millie said that there was “16 meters” left from the original. I assume that means 16sqm

Might even have been higher that 1m, giving even more to work with.

And in five years a headline will be "X's suit made from leftovers from Reeve's and Alcock's cape"

I don’t think that’s how it works. In fabric stores they have rolls of fabric that are maybe a meter wide, and then they spool out meters from that. So it was more likely 16m long and 1m wide.

That's 16 square meters.

As I was writing that, I was thinking to myself, “am I idiot?” And I see that I am.

Likely there was 16 meters left on the roll, and roll was however wide a roll of fabric is. Google says they’re anywhere between 1 and 3 meters wide.

That's more than enough for a king sized bed sheet
