Half Capes

[free the bees]

Does anyone know anywhere that sells half capes. Looking for a brown and black cape (half of each) for tying dry flies from sizes 10 to 18

Just cant afford two full capes.

I remember stumbling across a website where you can pick up half capes but i cant seem to find it again

Hi FTB

You should try Sam McGowan. His capes are superb and are some of the most reasonably priced capes around at roughly £14 -£15. Not sure if he does half capes. PM him on here, he is Saracen on this forum. His capes are dyed with years of experience . His claret is legendary in Ireland and he does a great picric and west of ireland amongst others.

Here is his website if you want a look.

Hope that helps.
