If you have been tying for some time, you have probably seen Indian Capes before. They are often the forgotten feathers found in discount bins of your local shop. I think most tyers, especially if you started tying as a kid probably started with Indian feathers for one major reason....... the huge difference in cost! Things have changes from years past and the quality of many capes coming out from India has vastly improved. While they are still smaller than industry standard non-genetic capes they are substantially bigger and have many more feathers than the capes you remember from years ago!
