They look nice!
How do you know of this firm?
Is there a dichromate component in the tanning process? Have you tested for it?

They’re the suppliers of many famous brands, they work low key, maybe not so “social” but it’s a business that has as a primary activity. The leathers are extremely high quality and the prices are very competitive. They make also other stuff very well.
The tanning is perfect and the sweats are certified, waterproof, bacteria-proof and some also alcool-proof.

Thanks @R95! They do look very nice! It's comforting to know that they have been certified, too. What type of certification?
You seem to know a lot about the company. Are you a hatter?
Do they have a website you know of?
And, most important, I must have an answer to the question of dichromates, even if I am the only Lounger known to have the allergy...

I had been contacted by them, on Instagram. And all I can say, is that, I can't judge leather by a picture, and can't tell, from what part of the hide, they are cut out from or what animal they come from or if they have blemishes or scaring.

The leather, we have here in the US, from one specific provider is absolutely some of the finest that I've touched. They are butter soft, a very high end sheepskin. Be it, naked leather or those treated with the protective sheen, they are hands down splendid, top of the line in the US industry. Quality is everything to me, and it is, how I roll. Only the best. And the customer service and turnaround, with local business, no complaints ever. I'll stick with the product that makes our work, stand out. I say our, because many of us, that build a fine hat, use this source.

Great reply Tim.
I know who's this provider. I'm manufacture hats since I was 14 and have travelled and researched worldwide the best good around the world from every provider, starting from small businesses up to high-key companies.
Hands down that the quality of the US provider is great but for the love of our products and customers we have to guarantee the best quality around, a wide selection being loyal to our way of working and, eventough I'm American, for me quality doesn't have a specific country.
French and Australian sheepskin are even better but most of the people have got some concernes to buy abroad.

I'm being provided from this Italian Company for almost 25 years, not really yesterday, and along with them from US, German, French, Australian and Ecuador companies. Never judging before having received samples and having testes them.

Our business, as you know even better then me, is not as prosperous as the old times and I prefer keeping it at a high-level as it deserves.

@hatsRme I've visited their website but it's under renovation I guess (www.riecosrl.com). Usually I directly write them to their email (info@riecosrl.com).
I buy from them 3/4 types of different leather, a new kind of vegan eco-leather sweatband and inside linings. Once I visited them they showed me the certifications with the origin and the genuinity and the leathers tested from water, alcool and dirt. Something professional, easy but stunning.

I've got a few customers that have the dichromates allergy so I made the leather privately tested. No dichromate anion has been found. (I testes roanskin, calfskin and sheepskin)
