I use the following US seller - excellent service!

http://www.jimsflyco.com/

He also sells on Ebay under the name Jim's Custom Flies although at the moment his Ebay shop doesn't contain any items for sale.

I've recently bought a Whiting Pro Grade Furnace cape from him - £18.88.

You sure it wasn't Hebert Minor stock (green label)? Not the same as the brown lable Whiting Dry Fly stock.

Yes, it is the Green Label, Herbert Miner, Pro Grade.

They're very good capes with plenty of well shaped hackles.

Apples and oranges. Ok for larger sized flies but not 16s and below (or even 14s)

I will 2nd these guys, one of the few places who actually seem to carry the stock advertised, my last order from Lathkill arrived in 20hrs from placing my order on line, not bad
