Tanning

Most of the tanning I have read about on here seems to be tans for mounts of some kind.

I am a beginner and I am looking for a tanning solution that I can use on Coyotes. I want a tan that produces a soft pliable leather. I want to be able to drape the hides over a chair or hang a few on the wall. I just want the hide to stay soft.

What is the best tan to use for this type of thing. Will Krowtann or Lutan-F produce this? Which one is easier.
THANKS FOR ALL YOU INPUT!

Krowtann is very easy to use. Lutan requires pickling and Krowtann doesn't, but Lutan gives a much nicer tan for a wall hanger or rug. Regardless of what kind of tan you use, you will need to flesh the hide very well to assure that it stays soft and pliable. You will also need to oil and work the hide to get it soft.
