Neck feathers will most commonly be used for smaller flies.
Saddle feathers will most commonly be used for larger flies.
Grade 1 products are incredibly rare, since the fashion industry enjoyed their "feather boom" of and around 2012. As such, many breeders only supply grade 2 and 3 items now (correct as of July 2016) whilst they manage the growth and quality of their birds, with respect to multiple industries' demands.
Grade 1 would be a near flawless item.
Grade 2 features some imperfections, though is still a very good quality item.
Grade 3 features more imperfections than a grade 2, and would be classed as a good quality item.
Note that some variance for personal interpretation of these grades should be given consideration, the manufacturers grading decision is final. Further, as of July 2016, the Cock Feather Magnum Necks & Saddles are only available in Grade 2.
Due to the nature of these items, supply will vary throughout the year. If you have a specific or urgent request, please contact us prior to placing your order so that we can understand your precise needs, and ensure availability of supply.
