Living here in New Zealand the highest quality capes and saddles I can buy is Metz, I do buy from TradeMe (the NZ version of eBay) when I can afford to bid for the cape or saddle - but usually I buy online from my favourite fly tying supplier (no fly shops closer to me) and they are like your Hook n Hackle guys and I have not had a rum deal from them yet.
It is very hard to get capes and saddles imported into NZ because our customs are very, very strict about avian and fur products coming across our borders.
