Re: Metz Hen Capes
US mail has been very late this month. Took 11 days for a letter I sent from Boston to New Orleans to arrive and I’ve been on the phone with my insurance company and they have told me that they are experiencing very delayed mail in many parts of the country so I wouldn’t worry yet.

Mailed Vickie's car payment on December 1st from the Carmel Post Office. It arrived in Old Town 19 days later. I can drive from Carmel to Old Town in 20 minutes if I do the speed limit.
Luckily, the 5 beautiful Metz hen capes I ordered from our pal, Jim, arrived in less than a week from Montana to Maine. Still haven's had time to tie anything with them, but maybe tomorrow, once I clear the driveway of the 9 inches of snow that's predicted.

Re: Metz Hen Capes
Lou, I have no Metz hen capes, nor do I want any. I don't want anymore stink'in capes or saddle. But Jim is sending me a cool Whiting rooster cape, so I lost my will power to say "No!" I also couldn't resist a really cool India rooster cape from Steve Cooper at Cookshill.

Re: Metz Hen Capes
I’ve had mixed results with Metz hen capes. This year I was very happy with a furnace cape I recieved.
Very nice hackle and coloring but a month latter I ordered a black hen and it was a dyed cape of poor quality
that is no comparison to the black Herbert Miner I’ve purchased in the past. I’ll probably give the Metz cape away
To someone who is starting out or trade it.

Re: Metz Hen Capes
What is wrong with your Metz dyed black hen cape? I ask that because you are comparing it to Whiting Hebert Miner hen cape.NightWatchman wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 3:14 pm I’ve had mixed results with Metz hen capes. This year I was very happy with a furnace cape I recieved.

Re: Metz Hen Capes
Well first off the Herbert Miner hen cape is a natural black and yes most natural blacks are not jet black but
as with other materials dyed to black the materials often take a beating in the process. When I get a chance I’ll try to take a picture of the 3 capes and post. I did not get the Metz s capes from Jim to clarify.
