Description:
 
Chocolate, tan and cinnamon brown pheasant feathers topped with flashes of spotty guinea fowl and green and blue peacock feathers and finished with a black rooster fork. Feathers are tied around a long shank fishing hook finished with polished .223 Hornady and Winchester spent, brass bullet casings and embellished with a varnished aqua blue silk thread. The pin is attached to the hat (or jacket lapel, scarf or bag) with a butterfly clasp.
 
Feathers are sourced from pest control operations in New Zealand in addition to former fly tyers supplies.
 
Please note: the images here may not be the exact hat pin you receive. Unless I have one of these already made, this hat pin will be made to order. Be aware that all feathers have slight natural variations in shade, pattern and size and I will make a very similar pin to that pictured but there may be a slight natural distinctions. Rest assured I will select the best feathers for the task and ensure you receive an excellent representation of this style. None of our feathers are dyed.

Care Instructions:
With care my handcrafted feather creations should be durable and give you much enjoyment. Feathers are naturally wind and water resistant. However, if they do get wet set them aside to dry naturally and gently realign the feathers, if necessary, between your clean thumb and forefinger in the direction of the feathers barbs (i.e. go with the grain and not against it).
 
Store them in their box between uses to protect from the sun, humidity and organic pests.
