I tied a few flies with this material and the shapes and the colors are great:

Hi Daniport,
sorry for my late reply – I miss your comment.
You can find Chamois leather in car shops. It ‘s used for window cleaning

I love the Chamois Caddis! Easy to tie and very effective.
I have also tied it using lead wire, peacock hurl and using artificial sinew. You can get a roll of artificial sinew at hobby and craft stores for a couple of bucks.
