All the natural black Cock necks I saw where mat and soft and I prefer dyed ones too. May be not the very puristic way but successful

To get a natural black is not the problem. To get a natural black with good quality feathers for flytying is. Much simpler to dye a good quality dark neck or saddle black. Giving up my chair freely for a more solid argument which addresses your question ;-) Cheers, Hans
