Where do you purchase your fletching material; specifically, traditional barred feathers?

Not sure what traditional barred feathers are.  I assume you mean feathers from wild turkeys.  They are way too expensive for me.  I buy the old traditional butter ball white dyed turkey feathers from vendors at shoots or the major catalog sources.....

I got the term traditional barred from a couple of catalogs.  I figured they were dyed.  Just trying to get the best deal on quality stuff.

I get wild turkey feathers from Spring hunters, or I buy the #2's from Dave at Custom Feathers.  custom feathers   You'd never know they were seconds when I have them on my arrows.

Buy mine from 3rivers.  If you are talking about the traditional barred in their catalog, it references the color.  Sort of a dirty gray barred color.
