FAQ
What is the difference between a Half Cape and a full cape?
A Half Cape is one half of a full cape, providing a more affordable option for tyers who need a smaller quantity of feathers. It maintains the same quality and characteristics as a full cape but with reduced material.
Are the feathers in the High and Dry Half Cape consistent in size?
Feathers range from size 10 to 18, with 14s and 16s being the most common. Individual feathers may vary slightly due to the natural origin of the pelt.
Can I request a specific feather size or color?
Please contact customer service to request a cape that accommodates specific sizing. Availability depends on current stock and may not be guaranteed.

Great value for the price. The feathers are consistent and work well in my dry fly patterns. I use mostly 14s and 16s, which match my typical setups. The color variety is impressive for a half cape.

This half cape delivered exactly as described. Feathers are natural and well-formed. I used it for a few dry fly patterns and they floated well in the water. Satisfied with the performance and price.
