I am still confused. Is this Kenny Abrams style flatwing feathers or something else? The term flatwing is very general and could apply to many style salt and freshwater. What is Byard offering?

Rene I just got off the phone with Byard .... He said the best way he would describe these is dry fly hackle size 10 and up. They are not as full of capes though as the Whiting dry fly capes. That's why there are fewer swappers in the flatwings. A lot of these are Badger capes dyed so they have some webbiness that works well for flatwings.
