Are you using tail or calf fur on your wings for coachmen’s?

I usually use either calf tail or body hair on traditional flies, both work nicely. Body hair is easier to work with as it is straight. Its what I use for tying demos when I ran tying classes. Access calf in online shops like Waspi or Feathercraft or better still your local fly shop. synthetics are another option. Originally bought a calf hide when I did high volume. Hope this helps.
