Good swag from Charlie, but if they don't have what you're after:
I've got a few of the Veniurd Premium necks. Probably wouldn't want to use them on dries (they're dyed anyway) but £20 seems a decent enough price. They're not as long as "fully" genetic capes - your Whitings and Metzes, nor are there as many feathers on a cape, but they're still pretty good. The hackle shape also has a bit more of a taper than Whiting/Metz. More and more useful sizes than on the Indian capes I have. Streets ahead of Veniard's chinese which, I find, are way too big to be useful. Of the three or four "Premiums" i have, one was a bit, well, small and wrinkled! The dying isn't exactly top quality since you're going to find a very stiff patch of skin. Doesn't seem to affect the feathers though. I'd fancy them for £20 if I had a need. Full price... hmmm... £35 if I recall... and not sure if I'd go for them at that price. May depend on what else is available. Maybe just buy the one and see for yourself?
