This gives us a tremendous pride in our products as it is raised here in the UK, processed right through to point of sale by ourselves.All the dyeing is done here on site, and we offer a colour matching service too! We try to attend a number of shows both here in the UK and on the continent, and although a small business, offer real home grown quality products second to none. Our capes have many desirable qualities that set them apart from many imported capes; the finest stems available today and hackles that stay where you put them, with no twisting or splitting. Try them, you will be amazed. Many tyers now have converted to the Chevron brand, few would return to imported capes. We try to keep our prices realistic too, although with rising feed costs this is not easy. But what we do offer is real value for money.
