feathered trend raises hackles,[url=http://duveticapiumini.olimx.com/][b]http://duveticapiumini.olimx.com/[/b][/url]
When fashion and flyfishing cross paths, feathers may fly. Off the shelves, at least.
The long, skinny feathers popular with sportsmen are available in a range of naturally rich colors,[url=http://duveticamen.blogspot.com/][b]http://duveticamen.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], from cream to rusty brown, and patterns. Plucked from specially bred roosters, they are utilised to tie trophy trout-landing dry flies -- as well as occur to look great when woven into hair as face-framing decorations, a trend that's sweeping the country.
Women of every age group (and some men, like rocker Steven Tyler of Aerosmith) who're buying the ornaments don't care the feathers they covet could be explained an angler as prime quality size 16 saddle hackles in Barred Dark Ginger. They simply like the look. The issue here is,[url=http://monclerjackenonlinech.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Weste Billig[/b][/url], more and more people want them within their hair, supplies are now severely limited and prices jacked up.
Scott Struif, manager of the fly shop at Thorne Bros. Custom Rod Tackle in Blaine, doesn't like exploring the aisle of empty pegs where his feathers -- called "hackle" in fishing parlance -- should be. He hasn't were built with a decent supply since February.
"When you have teenage girls from coast to coast wanting them, demand appears like about 1,000 times standard," he said. "But I'm hoping the popularity runs its course soon. To us, if you are likely to tie a particular trout fly, you'll need two different colors of the very specific feather and if you do not have it, story's over."
Andy Roth of Prescott, Wis., an angling guide and founder of the online business Gray Goat Fly Fishing, got early wind from the trend and blogged about it in February.
"Six months ago, when I heard reports of young women wandering into fly shops in groups,[url=http://billigmonclerjackenkaufen.olimx.com/][b]Moncler Jacke Damen Outlet Deutschland[/b][/url], everyone laughed and think it is a joke," he said. "Then the main hackle herders, the people who have been working on chicken genetics since the '70s to develop perfect feathers for fly tying, started getting contacted by major hair salons."
A pricey trend
This spring isn't first time that non-sportsman types within the Twin Cities happen to be drawn to beautiful fishing supplies. Within the 1980s at Bright Waters,[url=http://giuseppezanottisneakerssale.olimx.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti sneakers sale[/b][/url], an old fly shop in south Minneapolis, drag queens and strippers in the notorious Augie's regularly arrived to raid the feather stash. However their numbers were they cannot create a serious dent,[url=http://duveticaitaliaoutlet.webmium.com/][b]duvetica usa outlet[/b][/url], unlike this year.
In the City Look salon in Minnetonka, stylists do 15-20 feather customers per week. Anna Mirkin, who just finished 10th grade at Maple Grove Senior High, recently visited having a group of friends,[url=http://parajumperssalenorge.albirank.net/][b]Parajumpers Long Bear[/b][/url], paying $10 to $30 to have feathers installed in their 'dos.
"My lacrosse coach had one, and now at least 75 girls during my school do," she said. "They just give hair just a little pop."
The feathers eventually drop out as hair grows, but can last as much as two months. Some salons will reattach exactly the same feathers free of charge.
Obtaining the feather look is quick -- about Fifteen minutes -- and relatively cheap,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Down Jackets For Men[/b][/url], but rapidly getting more expensive. At Juut in downtown Minneapolis, each bundle of seven thin feathers went from $25 to $35. Thanks to girls who want to look like pop star Ke$ha, an earlier adopter from the feather look, there's also DIY tutorials on YouTube.
Note to the trendy-feathered: The birds your ornament came from were mighty pampered fowls. Each rooster gets their own little house, because if they fight, it ruins their feathers. Also, someone (besides the chickens, that are killed for their pelts prior to the feathers can be used) might have suffered for your beauty. Colorado-based Tom Whiting, considered the best within the feather business, inspects every one of his birds while they're still alive to continue fine-tuning the breeding.
"They peck and claw the heck from him," Roth said.
Even Up North
The trend has reached Minnesota's North Shore. In Duluth, Great Lakes Fly Shop owner John Fehnel named it "the most ridiculous thing" he's seen in his 11 years there. "Hopefully it'll phase out in per month or so."
Roth,[url=http://woolrichparkaschweiz.albirank.net/][b]woolrich winter coats woolen mills[/b][/url], who appears to discover the whole feather dust-up at least mildly amusing, includes a more circumspect attitude.
"The old boys' network didn't consider it first, that is what all of the bellyaching is about," he explained. "Those hackle herders been employed by hard breeding these birds; they should capitalize on this."
Like most fads,[url=http://billigmonclerjackenkaufen.olimx.com/][b]Billig Moncler Jacken Günstig Kaufen[/b][/url], this one's likely to level off, and may achieve this over time for new roosters to be raised and plucked for the following fishing season.
