Decent hen capes can be hard to find. Usually full of unusable feathers. I bought one of these, it came within 2 days. It's the best non genetic hen cape I've seen with masses of small to medium  sized feathers.

£4 inc postage.

Dealt with MGT tackle around 5 months ago, they were excellent. Had ordered same cape (black) as I was almost out, then noticed they had another offer of 4 capes for 6 or 8 pounds, I emailed and asked if there was a black cape in the offer and would they change order for me, not a problem, and have since found to be really good quality, so was well pleased

At £4 well worth a punt which I have now done. I noticed a few of mine were a bit bare in the small/Medium stakes.

I'm a bit "old fashioned"  in that I always try to use hen hackles for wet flies, certainly wets for use on rivers anyway. To my eye they make a nicer fly, especially spiders.
