The thing I really like about Bob Marriott's is that if there's any doubts, questions, or if they happen to be out of stock of something they personally call you immediately.....and they really know their stuff well. 

F-C would just ship whatever they had in stock, and you wouldn't know that the order wasn't filled completely until whatever they ship gets delivered.   That kinda stuff doesn't fly with me. 

I use Feather Craft quite a bit before,  never checked out Bob Marriott's online shop, will give it a shot. Thanks!

                          Tru dat Pete,

     But there is nothing like picking out your own material. Bucktail is the first thing that comes to mind. I will just miss that shop. We go way back. I do mail order though.

I’m that way on hackle's.

It's been a while since I ordered anything from them, but a shop worth checking out is Waters West in Port Angeles (Washington). It used to be my local shop back in the PNW.  While the selection of material is a bit limited, you'll find that a lot of the stuff comes in colors you won't find elsewhere. The shop dyes its own in steelhead and salmon colors--which can be productive here. Prices seem to be a bit lower on some items as well.
