All of sudden allergic to leather, WTH!

[OLDNSLOW]

I noticed that you are from the Baja area, so the question I have is where did  the leather come from, I understand that a lot of the tanneries below the border us some questionable chemicals in the tanning process?  Not sure if that might have something to do with it, I understand that the chajine (not sure on spelling) tannery is the better of all those in that area, might try and get some leather from there.

that's why I asked. I had a jacket from Tijuana. If it got even slightly wet, you didn't want to be in the same building with that thing.

Have you checked for super powers yet?

Kidding aside that's really weird to have happen.

And nice touch to match the stitching to the watch face!

I'd hate to blame the place of purchase. I'm sure they probably don't know either. I am calling them on Monday to verify the description of being 100% veg tan stuffed with oils and tallow. Maybe it's good that it's brought to their attention and be safe. Leather is New Haven Veg Tan bought from Tasman Leathergroup, it's part of Thoroughbred Leather in Kentucky.

More reference pics. Front and back of leather. It's a beautiful leather, of many leathers that I have, this one tops them all.

And lastly. Again, I love this specific leather. I hope to clear the issue soon. I did make myself a watch strap and bracelet from veg tan with no add ons. I'll see how that reacts tonight.

I'm just wondering, what you do for a living, or where you've been visiting the last couple days before you spotted this? Could be something you picked up there?

I'm a local Southern California native. Nothing out of the ordinary as far as health or lifestyle.

Just curious because the place I use to work, we used a penetrant that glowed like that under uv but if you haven't been around any metal testing labs that won't be it.

I hope you get to the bottom of it soon.
