Do you have a preference which to use for holsters, sides or shoulders? Are there different qualities that may give an advantage of one over the other?

The sides I have are much clearer than the shoulders, smoother flesh side and less imperfections. Undyed and unformed it seems a bit softer than a shoulder and I am wondering if this will translate to the finished product.

Back in the day, when HO cut shoulders, I used them. They don't do that anymore, so I use sides. I felt that I got the best yield from Double Shoulders for gunbelts and holsters (Cowboy). For CC holsters and belts, you might get better yield from sides.
