Bears Den does not dye their own saddles, according to Scott. They buy them from Whiting. Also, I'd be extremely surprised if Ken A paid to have a full set of production mandrels made. It's more likely that he simply ordered stock blanks in a custom color. It's just not economically feasible othewise.

You can't believe everything you hear. He did not, after all, raise the chickens himself as he claimed. He simply bought saddles from Whiting that were not adequate for dry fly tying.

Best regards,
